It is normal for ICUs to run near capacity, at least in the large city I live in. 8% of all ICU intake was Covid related at the largest 'medical city' in the world. This is increasing week over week, and will likely rise some more going into Winter.
That said, deaths are very low year over year and this is in a city where the majority of the population wears no masks, and has a very low vaccination rate. While Covid isn't 'over', it's perceived relevance is waning, despite the constant barrage of news articles.
