The entire Northeast region appears to be quite short ICU beds.

NY has 718 ICU beds for a population of 19.5 million: 36.8 beds per MM

Texas has 2,259 ICU beds for a population of 29.1 million: 77.6 beds per MM

Florida has 1,695 ICU beds for 21.6 MM: 78.5 per MM

California has 1,993 ICU beds for 39.7 MM people: 50.2 beds per MM

Geographic size of course matters. A more disperse population, with a lot of far flung towns and small/medium sized cities, will have a lot of smaller/regional hospitals. Perhaps all ICU units don't have the same capability... but a ventilator is a ventilator when that is what will make the different for you or a loved one. In large geographic states, I'm sure one thing tracked pre-COVID is "travel distance to nearest hospital"... how long to reach a hospital to that can treat trauma patients, acute hearts attacks, etc. Also, I wonder if the larger geographic states were staffed up to man all the "extra" ICU beds that they have.

Would be interesting to know typical ICU bed utilization pre-COVID19.
