I am in close contact with my doctor who works with 4 different hospitals, and my Dad was just in the hospital with Covid. We have other friends who work in the medical system and access to information most people don't have access to.

So yes, I've been actively monitoring the local hospitals for basically 2 years now through insiders who actually work at these facilities as I don't trust the numbers or the media.

Most of the hospitals were empty for most of the pandemic. If anything, hospitals are most impacted right now from this "cold" that's going around, and people who are recently vaccinated having complications from the vaccines. The number of Covid patients that stay in hospitals is small currently, however, the volume of cases is at an all-time high and there's still some people in the hospitals.

The biggest issue now seems to be vaccine damage, strikes due to mandates, and not enough health care workers were I am.
