North Dakota now has the highest reported number of Covid cases per capita and the 9th highest number of reported Covid deaths per capita; the first article that appears in a search claims "hospitals are at 100% capacity". I decided to look into this... https://www.grandforksherald.com/newsmd/coronavirus/6753876-With-North-Dakota-hospitals-at-100-capacity-Burgum-announces-COVID-positive-nurses-can-stay-at-work

Amazingly, ND has the best state dashboard I've seen anywhere and they show that, currently, 15% of hospital beds are occupied by Covid patients with 10% capacity available. I'm not sure how this data implies that hospitals are at "100% capacity".

ND separates those who are hospitalized due to Covid (294) from those hospitalized for some other reason but whom also happen to have Covid (105). In other words, more than 1/4 of all hospitalized "Covid" patients are not in the hospital due to Covid.

ND also separately reports those who died due to Covid (547) from those who died with Covid (106); they also state that 59% of all Covid deaths occurred in LTC facilities. In other words, only 164 people not in LTC have died in ND, so far.

However, the autumn wave of Covid in the upper Midwest does not appear to have hit its zenith, yet, so numbers will continue to worsen in the Dakotas.

To keep things in perspective, just 0.2% of ND population has ever been hospitalized with Covid and just 0.02% of those outside of LTC have died.

One more thing ND does better than anyone else - they report both the total number of tests run (973K) and the number of individuals tested (317K). So, the average person who gets tested, has been tested 3 times and 41% of the state's population has been tested at least once.
