As in they have not 1 single bed available or they have 50 beds available but not enough staff to allow those beds to be filled?
HHS
State wide
73% beds in use
15.8% with Covid

Lake Charles Memorial is full with Covid patients.
All the clowns who think this is a hoax need to take a walk around a local hospital and maybe they’ll Change their minds.

Lake Charles Memorial is full with Covid patients.
I heard this as well directly from a pulmonologist. I'm trying to get some clarification though. It was said they had to create a covid ICU for 27 patients. I wonder if that is all covid patients or a total of 27 including covid. I understand ICU units are small in most hospitals and easily overwhelmed. It just seems crazy to me that 27 seriously ill patients in a city of 80,000 could overwhelm it's largest medical facility. Hopefully this will cause us to adapt in the future to these situations. There are several other smaller hospitals in town that hardly a soul occupies so we need to figure this out.

LCMH is not full.
It is busy. The MICU had to be modified, but they have 2 ICUs, one of which was made into a COVID unit which is definitely populated and improving. Some of this has to do with the length of time people are in the unit.
“2 d floor had to be changed into a COVID unit” is overblown as they may have minimal patients there.
Overall the hospital has been way busier in the past.
People saying otherwise are exaggerating or misleading you.
