COVID ICUs are at about 30% of what they were previously, at least statewide.

ICU usage is at 79% (covid and non) according to covid act now which hasn't moved all that much so I have a hard time buying that ICUs are more full now than they were during their bad surge as quoted in the article. I think the basis of the article is the trajectory of course but the data doesn't support that ICUs are worse now than they were in January. This of course can be the case in certain areas I suppose but generally speaking it's just not true, the data is there.

Across the state, just under 65% of about 9,767 inpatient beds were in use Tuesday, according to data reported by 136 hospitals to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. About 7% of beds were in use for COVID-19 patients, according to the data.

The ICU numbers are indeed more alarming due to the % there for COVID (200 out of 800) as opposed to 7% of overall hospitalized.
