Even the doctor says they have 2 patients that are waiting for an ICU bed. If you aren't allowing them to use the other ICU units, then what's the point of mentioning them?
Because he wants to assure that they can be converted to accommodating Covid patients if necessary due to a spike. The two that are waiting in the ER are only briefly waiting there because bed control knows that they will have a few beds opening up shortly as other patients recover.

That just makes it seem like the other 4 ICU units are mostly full themselves. There may be a few beds here or there, but converting another unit to COVID would lead to a lack of beds for non-COVID patients. Sounds very likely that they are diverting some COVID patients to other hospitals or to Birmingham.
