Oregon has 6,297 hospital beds, with 733 corona virus patients, or 12 percent of the patient beds

 Oregon’s governor said she would send 1,500 national guard troops to help the hospital workers.

There are 733 people, who are hospitalized in Oregon with the corona virus, or 12 percent of the patient beds.

So there will be more than 2 national guards, for each corona virus patient.

Oregon each year has patient days of 1,358,267 individuals, divided by 6,297 hospital beds = each hospital bed is used 216 days each year.

So the Oregon hospitals are only 59 percent full and you need to send the National Guard to help ?
