Counties with the lowest hospital bed capacity in Oregon
Lauram12345 // Wikicommons
The deployment of vaccines beginning in December signaled a turning point in the pandemic. By Feb. 2,more Americans had been vaccinated for COVID-19 than had been infected. But as vaccination rates lagged over the summer, new surges of COVID-19 came. More than 80% of these cases by late July were caused by the Delta variant, which is more contagious than the original virus. This has resulted in growing rates of community transmission and—especially in counties with lower vaccination rates—increasing rates of hospitalization and death.
The United States reached 632,310 COVID-19-related deaths and nearly 38.2 million COVID-19 cases as of Aug. 26, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Currently, 51.7% of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated. Epidemiologists say the lower the vaccination rate, the more the virus has the opportunity to continue to evolve and become more dangerous.
Stacker compiled a list of the counties with the lowest in-patient bed capacity in Oregon using data from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Counties are ranked by the percent of in-patient hospital beds filled as of August 25, with ICU availability serving as a tiebreaker. Hospitalization data was available for about 77% of counties in the U.S. Keep reading to see what hospital capacity looks like in your county.
