KANSAS CITY, MO — Health experts are concerned that skyrocketing coronavirus case counts could put extreme stress on hospitals in the coming weeks. About 77 percent of all inpatient hospital beds were occupied as of Dec. 30, and about 12 percent of all beds were occupied by patients with COVID-19, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Intensive care unit beds are also filling up, with nearly 78 percent occupied nationally. About 22 percent of ICU beds are occupied by COVID-19 patients. State health officials in Missouri reported to the federal government Dec. 29 that approximately 80 percent of inpatient beds and 87 percent of intensive care unit beds in hospitals across the state were occupied. Around 15 percent of inpatient beds and 34 percent of ICU beds statewide were filled by COVID-19 patients, they reported. Preliminary evidence suggests the omicron coronavirus variant is less severe than the delta variant, but, it is much more contagious, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the White House. "We've got to be careful that we don't get complacent about that, because it might still lead to a lot of hospitalizations in the United States," Fauci said during an interview with ABC. Prior to wide vaccination, coronavirus cases typically were followed by hospitalizations and deaths, Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of Brown University School of Public Health, said in the same interview with ABC. Now, hospitalizations and deaths are uncommon among those vaccinated. So now it's more important to track the number of infections occurring in unvaccinated people. The latest hospitalization numbers from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for Jackson County, included below, are from Dec. 17-23, and represent a rolling seven-day average. Note that the figures for occupied hospital beds sometimes exceed 100 percent; this is because more than one patient sometimes occupies a bed over the course of a week. Below are the latest figures for hospitals in Jackson County. Can't find the hospital you're looking for? Try searching for it here.
