I'll edit with a link once I'm on desktop but there was a study in 2013 that showed ICUs are at max capacity 16% of the time in the U.S. the healthcare collapse panic was and has always been F.U.D. - during peak pandemic we actually terminated tons of healthcare worker positions reversing a growing trend in that sector mid-pandemic. Now we're decreasing hospital bed capacity and some places like Colorado. The hospital's aren't overwhelmed, they're overstressed by FUD and regulations forcing them to stop elective procedures among other stressors.
