I thought I read that Houston hospitals were at 90% capacity. Was I just imagining that? It’s possible, I took a gnarly nap today


Total COVID patient occupancy in the TMC system is at 14%. General bed usage for COVID patients is 12%. ICU usage is 27%. The latter is the more urgent piece.

As of yesterday, Houston was at 3% available ICU bed capacity, based on normal bed count. 362 beds were in use by COVID patients. There are 373 beds ready to be made available in addition to normal capacity for long term use. And an additional 504 beds ready to be made available for short term surges. General bed capacity outside of ICU beds isn't in any immediate danger.

In other words, there is ICU capacity for 3x more COVID patients, assuming no discharges, before shite really gets bad.
