You definitely have a point, although the rate I discussed was "ICU beds".

fair enough. Do you have access to the mortality data? Though again, a far from perfect metric without knowledge of co morbidities etc.

Not for NYC, I do not. I would love to know breakdown of hospitalization by variant and vax status. But I bet that criminal NYC leadership will hide this data.

For what it's worth, I remember reading about how in some hospitals, due to reduced staff (i.e. doctors and nurses quitting or being fired for being non-vax), their available beds are in relation to available staff. They might have 200 beds, for example, but only enough staff to cover 100 beds. So if 100 beds are filled, that hospital would be reported as "full" even though technically 100 more beds are empty. Another thing I've wondered is how these ICU figures would differ in a year with a bad flu, and lots of pneumonia cases etc.
