Just looking at ICU doesn't tell the whole picture. Not all covid patients - confirmed or awaiting a test - are place in ICU. ICU beds are a fraction of the total. ICU and vent patients are obviously more likely to die but all those other covid positive patients are still in our hospitals. My hospital now has more positive patients, and patients overall than we ever have in the entire pandemic - or any other time for that matter. We just don't have the staff to maintain these sorts of levels long term, regardless of the beds we have. We aren't necessarily crumbling but it's definitely getting harder and harder.
