The federal government regularly releases detailed hospital-level data which reveal the toll the pandemic is taking on health care facilities. These data show how many inpatient and ICU beds are in use on a weekly basis — and what portion of them are occupied by COVID-19 patients.
Nationally, COVID-19 hospitalizations have been declining since mid-January, but they're still very high in many places.
Using an analysis from the University of Minnesota's COVID-19 Hospitalization Tracking Project, NPR has created a tool that allows you to see how your local hospital and your county overall are faring.
Look up the hospitals where you live to find out how many beds are filled with COVID-19 patients, and the average for hospitals in your county.

I have a sister, nephew, and brother-in-law who all work in different hospitals and one works in a different state. They have had to increase the number of ICU beds and the number of ICU nurses. They ALL stay busy.

I have an assumption that many doctors and nurses will need some kind of mental therapy. They have been going non stop for months and have seen many deaths.

Thanks for the alert. Still can't figure out why we are not asking for and using the Israeli drugs that turn this around in 3-4 days
