then why are all ICU at 100% capacity right now ?
- Sohcahtoa82 5y agoThe odds of getting put into the ICU might be low, but the total number of cases is extremely high. The alpha variant peaked at 300,000 cases/day with a highest 7-day average of 260,000 cases in the USA. Omicron has hit over 1 million cases in a day with a 7-day average of 900,000. Roll a 100-sided die enough times, and eventually you will get a LOT of ones.
- _-david-_ 5y agoAll the ICUs are not at 100% right now.
- freewinz 5y agoAre people really this misinformed? Get a reality check and stop believing the clickbait. There is zero chance that 100% of ICUs are at 100% capacity.
- hnuser847 5y agoStop spreading misinformation. Zero states are reporting 100% utilization of ICU or inpatient beds. Not even close. Most are reporting under 80% utilization currently. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/hospitalization-7-day-trend https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/hospitalization-7-day-trend
- skyde 5y agoIn Quebec where I am, from 03-01 to 07-01 average occupancy rate was above 104% and is above 94% most of the time. It's an average, some are 55% some are 146% Source: https://www.indexsante.ca/urgences/ https://www.indexsante.ca/urgences/
- coredog64 5y agoWhat’s the base rate for ICU utilization? In the US, with certificates of need, I’d expect the steady state value to be around 60%.
- thedougd 5y agoI don't think ICU's are 100% full. There's also a double whammy where hospitals are reducing beds because of staffing shortages directly caused by Omicron infections.
