He says “the numbers that get reported are a specific snapshot of a moment in time. Those change day to day, they also change hour to hour.” Both hospitals have already implemented emergency protocols to expand the number of ICU beds they have, so as to be able to accommodate their patients. Because of that, Carla Yost from Ascension Via Christi, says the number to worry about right now is not ICU bed capacity. She says “there is a concern about the number of hospitalizations. No, about three weeks ago, we had 70. A week ago, we had 90 now we’re up to 111. Now, that’s not sustainable, long term.”
