These are ONLY ICU beds they are talking about.
They have nothing at all to do with normal hospital beds.
ICU beds are for those covid patients who can no longer breath on their own, and instead are put into a chemically induced coma, and intubated with a ventilator.
(Which by the way amounts to murder, because once intubated, the patient can't be turned to drain the lungs, and they will drown shortly,)
Normal beds in all hospitals are nearly empty, with most of the staff sent home.
From the link:
At the beginning of this week, Parkland reported that only 6 of its 75 intensive care beds were available and 742 of its 748 total beds were occupied. But several other large hospitals in North Texas — including Texas Health Arlington Memorial, Baylor Scott and White All Saints in Fort Worth and JPS in Fort Worth — had no ICU beds available at the beginning of the week.
