    While your sentiment is for sure in the right place, the inverse is the case right now; I don’t know of a region that isn’t floating at crisis levels for bed avaliablity (right now US hospitals are roughly 89% full, well over the predicted threshold for “shit starts collapsing” at 85%). It’s really, really bad out there.

        Hey it could be worse, you could be at one of the psych hospitals! Poor fuckers are running at 400%+ capacity on a good day. They’re so overtaxed they’re turfing people from forensic beds, and anyone that isnt a critical emergent case is never getting admitted. It’s so much fun!

        130%??? Are we talking like the stereotypical image of a collapsing country with patients laying in gurneys in the hallway?

          Yes. This is in a major city in Colorado, we’re not a small hospital nor are we in a rural place. There’s no excuse
