ICU bed capacity increases in hospitals with more patients as COVID-19 cases increase

Published on

The availability of beds in the intensive care unit is declining. Only 25 adult ICU beds and 11 pediatric beds will be available across the hospital network in six overcrowded areas. Doctors warn that hospitals are approaching capacity. At the beginning of the Pandemic, hospitals in the metro were 51% full. At present, this number is 88% capacity. The senior epidemiologist at the Douglas County Department of Health is not surprised by the increasing number of cases and hospitals. “People are leaving more and more, more reunions are taking place, in the school re-session, and universities are creating more and more cases,” said Dr. Ann O’Keefe.

They helped create a national mourning period for the more than 200,000 people who died. “It’s just basic common sense why we don’t do each other to save lives,” Allen said. Memorial time will be Saturday, October 10 at 10 a.m. CST. Alan and the other organizers ask people to remember the dead for 10 minutes. “The beauty of this project is very simple. We hope church bells will ring across the country to pause, reflect and pray,” she said. Dr. “It’s time to dump her and move on,” said O’Keefe.
