They were saying 90% this morning. It was the first to actually cause our governments to act.
I read 70% based on the study but it could or would be 90% if the dosage were increased. Don't know if that's just a hypothesis or empirically proven.

The first two are 95%. Last I read the Pfizer/BioNTech one would start rolling out in the U.S. on December 12 or 13.

We have about 950k total hospital beds
Will be using 10% of them just for covid19 soon.

Optimal bed utilization has been historically 85% (15% free for flux).
We'll be maxing out in several locations in this environment.

Luckily we have a pretty significant ICU capacity and will be unlikely to overwhelm that up front. Instead you'll see the breakdown before then. You'll have to cancel elective procedures to free up 10-20% of regular bed capacity.
