Dozens of hospitals in Florida are at their ICU capacity as the state struggles to contain its massive spike of COVID-19 cases.
According to new data released by the state's
Agency for Health Care Administration, almost 85 percent of the state's ICU beds are occupied, with just 933 ICU available beds remaining across the state.
WFLA reported that 435 were hospitalized overnight Friday, a new record. At least 52 hospitals in the state have no ICU capacity left at all.
During a Friday press conference, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) tried to assuage fears over the mounting hospitalizations.
DeSantis cannot polish this turd, as much as he might try.
