“The news came to light this week after someone with insider knowledge reportedly leaked the government’s daily reports on covid-19 hospitalization to NPR. These updates document nationwide trends in hospitalizations of covid-19 patients, highlighting where facilities are reaching capacity or are under stress for lack of beds, ventilators, or other equipment. According to NPR, the reports show that hospital occupancy, ventilator usage, and ICU bed occupancy have been steadily increasing over the month of October, with an Oct. 27 report revealing that all three have shot up by 14%-16% this month.”
