Teejers wanted to make sure you saw this as it has been posted a few times - the number of available ICU beds in every county in California is available at https://public.tableau.com/views/COVID-1...VizHome=no

Why can’t we get this (I’ll use SCC as an example: Santa Clara County has a total of X hospital beds. Of those Y are ICU beds.  On April 15, ___ on the beds were in use___  were Covid Patients. ____ICU beds were in use.____.  On May 15 (put in numbers) June 15 (put in numbers. July 15 put in numbers. 



That should be done countywide and statewide. It shouldnt be that difficult.

San Mateo county does that, though it doesn't report the data for all hospitalizations (we know from the link below that 55 patients are hospitalized with COVID, but it doesn't have the numbers for non-COVID patients).

https://www.smchealth.org/coronavirus-health-data

On July 8, 38 out of 110 ICU beds were in use; 15 of those beds were in use for COVID patients.  The data in the dashboard goes back to June 30.  I agree it would be helpful to have more historical data readily available and more data about total hospitalizations.

the bummer for this SCC resident is that Santa Clara's dashboard used to have this info readily available - and in an easily digestible, color-coded bar chart.  But alas, the powers that be, removed that data . . . strange.

This page looks like it has most of what you seek:

https://www.sccgov.org/sites/covid19/Pag...itals.aspx

I never saw what it used to offer, but it gives you COVID hospital bed use,  ICU use, and ventilator use and availability.  So are you worried that you don't have a picture of how many beds are being used by non-COVID patients and the total number of beds available?

BC

Yes, which was previously available.  I think that data is very useful and informative, and am having a hard time understanding why it was removed.
