As of Sunday morning, the Illinois Department of Public Health said with 27,457 hospital beds in Illinois, around 15,500 were occupied. The occupancy rate for all beds is now at 56 percent. That’s up from 51.6 percent reported March 24.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
