I debunked this in a dupe thread, where someone has similar claims about Minnesota, the actual hospital occupancy rate was 10%. The total covid utilization of Zurich ICU units is 14.6%. 71% of 14.6% is 10.3%. Not great, but a far cry from alarmist statements like "traffic accident victims can't be treated", when 7.5% of Zurich ICU beds are still unused, and 20% ICU beds are free in Switzerland overall.

Nothing to debunk. The 71% was clearly meant regarding cases of covid not total ICU beds. I didn't say the ICUs were already full. They are starting to fill up. We don't have a lock down at this time but if the numbers keep going up we will have no choice.

Either way it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated irregardless if the hospitals are full or not.
