Those numbers seem to match the numbers from the site I posted. The rational ground site also shows the numbers in relation to capacity. You can filter by state.

Based on the numbers and your original post, it doesn't seem to be a statewide issue. It is a localized issue of what seems an area covered by 10 hospitals.

The relevance is that hospitals having issues with capacity is not beyond the realm of normal.

The site you posted only goes to Aug 27th, which is hopelessly outdated for a rapidly deteriorating situation. The actual information from the Idaho Division of Public Health indicates 10 ICU beds staffed and available across the entire state as of yesterday. This is after activating the national guard to assist. If that's not a crisis, I don't know what is.

You seem caught up in a narrative that this is not real, I urge you to consider the facts on the ground rather than fit things to your political views.

I'm caught up in the narrative of looking at all the data and comparing with relevant perspectives.

Thanks for yours and your input.
