Un-named Birmingham Hospital Running Out of Covid Space

 

NPR reports on federal government hidden data that identifies hospitals and locations where a shortage of Covid beds is looming. 

 

"For instance, the most recent report obtained by NPR, dated Oct 27, lists cities where hospitals are filling up, including the metro areas of Atlanta, Minneapolis and Baltimore, where in-patient hospital beds are over 80% full. It also lists specific hospitals reaching max capacity, including facilities in Tampa, Birmingham and New York that are at over 95% ICU capacity and at risk of running out of intensive care beds."

 Montgomery was under a similar shortage last May, but there's no indication in the NPR story that the capital city is similarly in  a shortage now.
