The numbers there are funky. Best guess is that their "total available" beds are the estimated number of statewide beds that would normally be empty, and the "ICU beds needed" number is just for Covid patients.

From https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/health-and-medicine/articl... :

> About 1,178 confirmed and 374 suspected COVID-19 patients were under treatment in California’s ICUs on Tuesday, according to the latest figures from the California Department of Public Health.

> On a typical day, about 58 percent of the state’s ICU beds are occupied by patients needing treatment. Although the exact number of ICU beds currently in use was not released, the increase in COVID-19 cases suggests that about 80 percent of the ICU beds in California may now be filled.

And from https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/03/24/map-where-are-the-int... :

> In California, where the confirmed number of coronavirus cases was 2,181 on March 23, there are 7,345 ICU beds. Eleven counties have no ICU beds or no hospitals at all.
