Chart: Pediatric Capacity: United States Data: U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services Stacked area chart of daily 7-day averages for pediatric Unoccupied Beds, Non-Covid Beds, and Acute Covid Beds, for the period from August 2020 through April 27, 2024. Hash marks—indicating PICU beds—overlay bottom of each stacked area. Dotted lines indicate historical and current Hospitals Surveyed (84%), Pediatric Capacity Level (69%) 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 pediatric beds to total reported staffed pediatric beds, nationally; last the ratio of hospitals with pediatric beds reporting critical staffing shortages as a share of those that answered said question either 'yes' or 'no'. Capacity was climbing toward 55K, with climbing occupancy, before plummeting to under 10K in Jan '22. Feb '22 saw gain toward 45K; above in May of that year, before trending down to now below 40K. Pediatric staffing never recovered to pre-omicron levels. Rather, now more than one in five pediatric beds reported May of 2022: now missing. PICU Capacity Level (not shown): 68%. Weekly average ~50 PICU beds were covid patients. We're failing our kids. The emergency is over. ❖ #ThisIsOurPolio #hospitals #LongCovid #CovidIsNotOver #nurses #MassDisablingEvent #CovidIsAirborne #BringBackMasks #dataviz #datavis
