One hospital CEO speaking in a roundtable held with @GovRonDeSantis on @floridachannel right now saying in his hospital(s), approximately 25 percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations are not from COVID. Several pediatric studies have found this to be 40-45% for child hospitalizations.
Another CEO saying the median age of hospitalized patients has dropped about 10 years to 57, likely due to the strategy of vaccinating so many seniors first. Also said the patients are not as sick, in general, as they were in the past.
Former Chief of Staff Shane Strum, now a CEO in Miami, saying the median age has dropped from low 70s to low 50s. Also said over 80 percent of their patients are not COVID-related.
Shane Strum saying the length of stay among vaccinated is a day or two, unvaccinated LOS is about 5-7 days.
Shane says that the transmissibility is definitely worse with this wave but reiterated the words of a previous speaker that the severity of illness is a lot less.

I want to clarify, this CEO didn't mention the pediatric studies. I added that anecdote as additional context. I don't want to attribute that to what he said, but it does fit.
The heads of Orlando Health say their intake numbers have plateau'd and believe they have likely reached their peak.
