It's actually even more ridiculous than that - if we went from 0 to 1 person in that unit, they would report it as a 100% increase. Get two "cases" and suddenly that's a 200% increase!! Saying 11% capacity might actually tip them off to the scam. lol
I became aware of this scam a few years back when I looked up stats on dog rabbies because I refused to vax my dog. They said rabbies was up 75%, so I researched it was from like 4 to 7 cases nation wide. I realized its all fear tactics.
Limiting beds and claiming 106% in use like my hospital is claiming is fear based and lies. Hardly ever people question these grand statements!

When it's 11% they'll just say "ONLY 8 ICU BEDS AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE STATE" *not including any other areas with hospitals
