COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)
I can't do this for a lot, so I'm just picking my county. It's interesting to combine this data. The first is the overall situation in Broward County Florida.
We've had a total of 790 hospitalizations (doesn't track "current")
As a county, we have 4702 staffed beds, 6025 licensed beds, and 525 ICU beds. So, I'd say we have more than enough capacity in terms of beds. (maybe not PPE, and all that).
I wonder, if they're not doing it already, if they can isolate certain wings of the hospitals, or only allow COVID-19 cases at certain hospitals (maybe harder), if they can re-open capacity for other situations and elective procedures. Now, I don't know what % is currently 'filled beds' of non COVID-19 patients.
Ok, maybe one comparison.. Indian River County...
Per capita, they actually have a better person to staffed bed ratio.
