The HHS numbers belie forecasts of impending collapse of the U.S. medical system. As of Saturday, the department estimated that hospitals nationwide were at about 75% capacity. ICU beds were even lower, at 63.5%. Patients who had tested positive for COVID-19 occupied just under 15% of all beds nationwide
Those numbers are not far out of line with national average occupancy rates seen in normal times and are, in some cases, lower than what are widely considered optimal rates.

(A much more off-topic bonus link from the comments section of the same off-guardian piece, “Fauci doesn’t know anything about anything”, a brief clip from the irreverent, now deceased, inventor of PCr: https://youtu.be/5WmKzrJu23o )
I really wish there were a way to preview comments.

The majority of people are still so hypnotized by the media’s government numbers that nothing else seems relevant. Apart from the media hype everything is in line with a normal year but the media has a much deeper hold on people’s sense of reality than I think anyone would have thought before this crisis. They don’t trust any other source than the msm or government authorities. It’s a battle for their minds.
