Tallahassee Reports requested and received information today from Tallahassee Memorial Hospital (TMH) and Capital Regional Medical Center (CRMC) about the number of patients currently hospitalized for COVID-19.
As of Monday, June 1st, TMH reported five COVID-19 patients and CRMC reported nine COVID-19 patients for a total of 14 currently hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Leon County.
The current data from the Florida Department of Health indicates a cumulative total of 46 COVID-19 hospitalizations in Leon County.
Back in early April, based on the University of Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 Hospital Impact Model for Epidemics (CHIME), officials feared that hospital resources would be hit with approximately 2,400 hospitalizations by early June. These projections included hospitalizations from Leon and 10 surrounding counties.
Officials at the time indicated that the region had a capacity of approximately 900 beds.

Since increased testing is showing increased positives, it would be great if Leon County would acquire/publish the number daily. It is now a better barometer of if things are getting better or worse as we continue to open up. After all, one of the big reasons for the precautions was to prevent overwhelming the healthcare infrastructure.
Then you should be glad that the precautions worked to keep down the need for ICUs–for now.
However, realize that thousands are still sick with the virus. It just means that, as there is no treatment for it, they are not admitted to a hospital unless they are severe enough to need the ICU.
Don’t forget, it is still a pandemic and carelessness can still result in the misery suffered in hard-hit areas.
The US is, far and away, the most infected country with 1.8 million cases and growing.
Just saw this……”released Wednesday and provides several clinical details, including that Floyd had previously tested positive for COVID-19.” …………….. does this mean he died OF COVID-19 like all the others?
It’s because we self-isolated that our # are low. Good for us!
Haha well put Snidely!
