Chart: Hospital Capacity: United States Data: U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services [ beadsland on Ko-fi ] Stacked area chart of daily 7-day averages for Unoccupied Beds, Non-Covid Beds, and Acute Covid Beds, for the period from August 2020 through February 17, 2024. Hash marks overlay bottom of each stacked area—indicating ICU beds. Dotted lines indicate historical and current Hospitals Surveyed (84%), Hospital Capacity Level (77%) and Critical Staffing Level (11%). First has fallen off as psychiatric and rehabilitation hospitals have gone to once-annual reporting; second is the ratio of total reported occupied beds to total reported staffed beds, nationally; last the ratio of hospitals reporting critical staffing shortages as a share of those that answered said question either 'yes' or 'no'. From October 2020 forward, top of the total stack trends downward. A diagonal notation along the top edge reads: "Reported staffed beds have been declining on average ~700 a week for ~3⅓ years."

Capacity Level has been elevated since independence from the virus was declared three summers ago—as fewer & fewer professionals have been available to staff hospital beds.
Critical Staffing Level, already at 2021 levels, has been further elevated for near a year—with some one in nine reporting hospitals at critical shortage.
