I can’t remember a site that didn’t use the heading “staffed ICU beds” on any data point but I also don’t know anything more about it than casually trolling websites so you very well could be correct.

That said, are we assuming that hospital systems are reporting an inflated capacity to .gov types via saying they have beds that cannot actually be staffed? This seems like the opposite of what they’d really want to do.
