ICUs are always full. Literally. ICUs and ERs are on divert more often than not. At least in the USA, hospitals have a fiduciary responsibility to keep beds filled. We will just take the sicker ones now.

They absolutely are not. Our typical occupancy this time of year would be around 50% (of pre-covid capacity) which is high because it's flu season. It's currently 140% which we can only accommodate because we've expanded the capacity specifically for covid.
You don't know what you're talking about.

Where did you hear that ICUs are always full? I keep hearing that from people, and I don't know if it's bullshit or not.
Do you have any sort of a source that ICUs and ERs are on divert more often than not?
