The news article is literally quoting hospitals saying they are out of ICU beds.

But you trust a dashboard more...

> The graph here you are looking for is the one that shows the percentage of staffed beds and icu beds occupied. Notice that it is entirely flat.

So why did hospitals declare that they have no ICU beds available and that they are sending patients out of state?

> At least 53 Texas hospitals have no available ICU capacity, according to numbers reported to the federal government during the week ending Aug. 5. In Austin, five hospitals were at or above 90% of their ICU capacity during the same period, with two reporting no available ICU beds
