Hospitals across the country are being pushed to breaking point as Covid hospitalizations skyrocket.
Figures from yesterday show a shocking 129,748 Americans are currently in hospital being treated for coronavirus.
The new maps, created by The COVID Tracking Project, demonstrate how many inpatients there are at each hospital, as well as showing ICU capacity.
According to the data, hospitals are at their worst in California right now.
There are 22,633 people in California being treated for Covid-19, with a significant number of those being ICU patients.
In parts of the state it is not unusual for every single emergency bed to be taken up by a Covid-19 patient – which has been disastrous for non-Covid patients in need of urgent care.
The majority of hospitalizations are concentrated in Los Angeles, where more than 45 percent of all general hospital beds are taken up by Covid-19 patients.
Officials are no urging people to wear a mask inside their own homes to slow the spread as hospitals buckle under the weight of patients.
The city’s Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said: “Right now, because there is so much spread, we’re recommending that people wear their face coverings on while they’re inside the home.
“It will add a layer of protection while we get through this surge.”
Meanwhile, just North of LA in Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, a field hospital is being constructed in a parking lot – two-thirds of the hospital’s ICU beds are occupied by Covid-19 patients.
Just one intensive care bed remains free in the entire facility.
And in Florida and New York, up to 30 per cent of hospital beds are occupied by people battling coronavirus.
The same can be said for South Texas and in Phoenix, Arizona.
In Phoenix, data shows the hospitalizations and deaths are exceeding figures from the summer.
