NYT: US Hospitals Running Out of Beds for Patients
WaPo: In nine states, over 1 in 1,000 people have died of coronavirus-linked causes
NYT: Too few specialists to operate ventilators
We've blown through the line of support.

~90,000 covid patients in the hospital.
Not just beds. Not enough nurses, physicians, respiratory therapists and healthcare professionals to cope.

Horrible situation. One recent study estimated how many Americans had suffered from covid, in addition to those who were tested and found to have had it. The estimated figure was 100 million!.
Cheers
Perhaps a bit high.
Infection Fatality Rate started out around 1%.
With 250,000 dead that would correspond to 25 million infections.
The lower the IFR the higher the total infections.
Perhaps ironically 100 million infections would correspond to an IFR of 0.25%, quite good news.
