I don’t think you can infer how busy hospital staff are from this article even though hospitals may have fewer patients in them.

Not all hospital beds are equal. Can you put a covid patient in a bed next to a covid-free patient? Probably not.

How many staff are off ill or self isolating?

Can the covid staff treat non-covid patients? If so, is there a PPE robing/disrobing overhead to this?
