See my Dec. 4 post in this thread wondering about that discrepancy.
The low numbers that San Mateo posts at its site seems too low to me, but why would they claim to have so few ICU beds?
I presume that when SCC corrected to show only staffed beds on its site, that it was the state who had been specifying staffed beds but some hospitals had been reporting surge beds.

OK, could someone explain the following: Looking at
https://www.smchealth.org/data-dashboard/hospital-data
at 2047 on Dec 8 shows a total of 68 ICU beds in the county, of which 60 are occupied. Looking at
https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-...home-order
and the data for San Mateo County at the same time point shows 34.9% ICU availability. That same site shows the data updated on Dec. 12.
How can those two things be simultaneously true? They can't. So what data is being used to make decisions on a State and County level?

There is no possible rational explanation for those two sets of numbers being so totally different on the same day. The charts for daily San Mateo County ICU occupancy going back a 12 days don't show any big changes. At no time does it show 34.9% availability. An 11% ICU availability tells an entirely different story than a 34.9% availability does. WTFO? The Santa Clara County data could track between State and County, but only if the State data is a full week old.
