Long-Term Care facilities...what's unclear is if, or how many, patients were transported to hospitals/ICUs...plus the article is from May, 2020 and things no doubt changed. Nonetheless, other articles paint a picture of LTC facilities being strongly advised not to transport clients to ERs (makes some sense due to the worry about limited ER/ICU staff/equipment, etc.
If the article's statistics held true until now, that would say nearly 12,000 Ohio COVID deaths occurred outside their ICUs, leaving 5,000 to be accounted for in hospital ICUs. (JH data) showed 19,232 COVID-occupied bed-weeks from Aug. to mid-Feb....and further Googling showed a that the avg. stay in an ICU was one week, with an avg. mortality rate of 18.8%...(= 3,420 deaths)...it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to find another 1,580 from Mar. thru July using the same approach...close enough for government work.
As to your fixation on just 7k ICU admissions for the entire pandemic, I'd like to see the source of that info...actually, I don't think either one of us really wants it.
Thanks for letting me 'Nerd Out'.
