   FMC Comments Regarding Bed Capacity. 
   
   Below are Dr. Feuquay’s responses in red to your questions:

• The Mayor cited data from the county that shows zero bed capacity but your portal shows capacity. At FMC, we are consistently busy day-to-day. Even if we are at a zero percent capacity for one minute in time, we have plans in place to ensure that patients needing care are never turned away. The county’s data source only shows a snap shot of our real-time data. Our internal team updates the hospital’s information to the county every 4 hours. When the county posts that data, it is not always an accurate portrayal of what is happening in real time. When the mayor tweeted we were at 0% capacity, FMC only stayed at 0% capacity for a minuscule moment in time. This is due to daily discharges and moving patients between units based on the care that they need.  

• Is there capacity? Yes.
• If no capacity, is this a staffing or a bed issue? We have adequate staffing for the number of beds in use.
• Any details you can provide would be great. We are maintaining what we need to do based on our plans we’ve established. We are busy, but we have the capacity to take care of you. Do not forgo care, but please understand that things may not work as fast as they would say two years ago because we are so busy. But you will be safe and you will be able to receive care at FMC. We are not at a point where NAH is rationing care and we have not been there during this pandemic.
