"The number of New Yorkers in the hospital with Covid-19 is surging, but fewer of them are ending up in intensive care compared with prior waves — a sign that vaccines and the potentially milder omicron variant are making people less sick."

I do not disagree, but. For profit hospitals generally look for 90% occupancy period over period. Non profit (kind of a misnomer) generally look for 75 - 80% occupancy period over period. Prior to this pandemic. There is just not sufficient elasticity in staff to maintain unlimited ICUs.
