US-wide Hospital Capacity - overall, and occupied COVID-19 Patients :
https://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/covid19/report-overview.html
What's missing to complete the picture is the rate of change over time.
For that, you would need to look <Percentage of Inpatient Beds Occupied by COVID-19 Patients – Change in 14 Day Period>.
CDC had stopped compiling those reports as of July 14, 2020. Which is not helpful.
HealthData.gov site does have estimated hospital occupancy data for every state:
https://healthdata.gov/dataset/covi...l-capacity-state/resource/82e733c6-7baa-4c65#
Built-in graphic function sucks, so here is my graph of the data as of 11/30, plus change in % occupancy from 10/30. By State, sorted from highest to lowest.
Situation in NM, ND, OK, and MO has deteriorated the most over the past 30 days.
Things are particularly disturbing in NM, where % occupancy hit 99+% on 11/25, and went above 100% on 11/28 and 11/30. Not entirely certain what 100+% ICU occupancy means, but have strong suspicion that that is not good for patient outcomes.
Interestingly, CA has tied enforcing stay-at-home orders to ICU capacity hitting 85%, as tracked by five (5) regions in CA.
By that metric, 2 of those regions (Southern California and the San Joaquin Valley) have tripped that threshold today, even though CA overall is at 75.88% ICU occupancy rate for the state. By tomorrow (12/6), some 27 million people in those two regions, will be impacted.

I don't know if 85% ICU occupancy is a reasonable panic threshold, or not.
But if it is, the following five states have already crossed it: NM, ND, AL, TN, RI.
Lots of other insightful data series on HealthData.gov site as well, if one is motivated to dig in.
