USA TODAY analysis of Hospital Bed Capacity during Coronavirus Pandemic: AHA hospital bed & US Census data (2020).
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- These two tables compare the number of hospital beds in each state or metro area to the number of possible cases of COVID-19. USA TODAY used 2018 population figures from the U.S. Census and the number of hospital beds from the American Hospital Association’s 2020 statistics.
- AHA hospital beds data at state and metro areas provided by USA TODAY for use by journalists in Coronavirus reporting. Please cite the data from the American Hospital Association, U.S. Census, CDC and World Health Organization as the source of your analysis. If possible, in a tagline or credit of any story, share that "The figures come from a USA TODAY analysis of data from the American Hospital Association, U.S. Census, CDC and World Health Organization that was shared publicly via biglocalnews.stanford.edu." We ask this because it helps us show the impact we can have and that makes it easier to create ongoing support for Big Local News. Questions can be directed to Jayme Fraser, USA Today jfraser@gatehousemedia.com or biglocalnews@stanford.edu
- Please see the README file for more information about the data and data analysis.
