You're cute. You really are. I'd bet you're aware of the hysterics and panic porn the Kansas City Star routinely prints.
This is no different. Pure panic porn from attention whores and fear mongers. Here's the original article.

Now, I'm no rocket surgeon, but to me it looks like there isn't hospital over 80% full...
Just how sensational is this article? With quotes like "We're going to be the next New York" you have to wonder what their agenda is.
“I worry that if we don’t start taking this seriously as a metropolitan area, we’re going to be the next New York,” he said. “We’re going to be the next hot spot, because though we have a lot of hospitals, we have a lot of capacity in the area, we are filling up fast.”
Remember, that's the New York where they had hospital ships and field hospitals never used. Where hospitals wouldn't transfer patients to empty hospitals because they'd lose out on covid care money.
The hysteria in the KC region has been the same since St Patricks day. When there were barely any cases at all in Kansas or Missouri.
Of significant note this doctor didn't provide any information on the length of stay or how many are discharged in the same day.
Now, you might ask, are wuflu patients taking up the ICU beds? Well above that shows at least 20% available. But this shows it a little better.
The deaths below are from August so the numbers have increased a bit, but obviously a lot is going to have to change for any place to be like New York. Lots of blue states at the top of this list.
