Such a crap statement. Hospitals HAVE to operate at a high percentage census to make money. If they were empty all the time, they wouldn't exist. The "capacity usage" has primarily increased due to resumption of surgical cases and people actually seeking care for their ailments.
Look at IHME's record on their projections since the start of this. They've been wrong and readjusted multiple times. Keep shooting, sooner or later they'll hit that target.Riots are dying down, so naturally we're transitioning back to the covid fear porn. New model projects dramatic COVID-19 resurgence in Tennessee

Unless I missed it, the article never said the capacity issue was due to Covid. I found this comment interesting too. Yes it shows growth in cases but not a huge amount:
"Most indicators in Arizona show an increase in the disease's spread that goes beyond just increased testing, experts say. For example, since the day after the stay-at-home order expired May 16 to Tuesday, cases increased by 108% while testing increased by 100%."
AZ is full of old people. Lock them down and let everyone else go about their lives"Hospitalizations have steadily risen. Statewide hospitalizations as of Sunday were at 1,266 inpatients in Arizona with suspected and confirmed COVID-19, which was the second-highest number, behind Friday, since the state began reporting the data on April 9. The past eight days have seen inpatient hospitalizations statewide for suspected and confirmed COVID-19 eclipse 1,000.
The percentage of positive tests per week increased from 5% a month ago to 6% three weeks ago to 9% two weeks ago, and 12% last week."
