Texas response to Corona virus

There's going to be a fight over the El Paso shutdown:

https://www.texastribune.org/2020/10/29/el-paso-coronavirus-shutdown/

What authority does Abbott have over a county judge? authority to punish how? removal from office?

[RandomGuy]

Is ours were overwhelmed, we wouldn't be taking patients from El Paso.

(shrugs)

You were not careful in your wording. You didn't say "Texas hospitals" or "all hospitals".

El Paso hospitals are officially overwhelmed.

Your statement was provably wrong.

Happy to accept a qualifier.

How many hospitals would have to be overwhelmed before you think or admit you were wrong?

[RandomGuy]

What authority does Abbott have over a county judge? authority to punish how? removal from office?

Good question.

If I were running a county and it got overwhelmed I would absolutely tell the governor to stuff it.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

The AG overrulling El Paso county judge regarding a shutdown is interesting.

You'd think they'd WANT a shutdown to prevent further voter turnout in what will easily be more blue votes.

IDK creepy to think the texas AG can overturn something a locally elected official is doing, when the data is there showing it's becoming a covid shit storm

[Winehole23]

What authority does Abbott have over a county judge? authority to punish how? removal from office?The court order in El Paso is inconsistent with Abbott's executive order about public health measures saying localities can't issue orders stricter than the state's.

Attorney General Ken Paxton has argued the order is illegal because it goes against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s statewide order to reopen businesses while county officials say Samaniego has the authority to order the shutdown because the county is facing an emergency situation.



District Judge William Moody said Wednesday that he plans to have a ruling by Friday morning.

Way to go Texas.

This week, Texas became the first US state to surpass one million known Covid-19 cases, according to data from Johns Hopkins.

11k new cases reported yesterday.

CFR seems to be fairly steady at around 2% when comparing fatalities 7 days after case reported counts. That would imply that in about 2 weeks after we get over the data lag, we should see something close to a new record high number of fatalities. :grim

Splits, any new guess as to where the fatality rate is going to level off?

[RandomGuy]

It will make Texas' death rate per capita triple, if accurate.

the stupid fucking graph that is Darrin's go to for "muh New York":
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/

will have Texas at about 100 by the end of the month, which will have Texas jump about 20 places in the ranking, past a lot of NE states, and approaching New York.

Meanwhile... Snakeboy still can't explain the spike.


We can reexamine this at the end of August. A lot of places in TX trending in the right direction.

Re-examine it now.

Even the raw data that Texas uses to for your fav, has Texas at 67 deaths per 100k

Double that to get the datasets in line with how other states report probables in their data, you get 134 per 100k.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/

Texas is at #4 on that basis, with a record high reported case count yesterday, so it would seem we are on track to match or exceed NY.

Tell me again how badly Cuomo fucked up his response.








Then tell me how you think Texas fucked up to get at the same level.

Current projections are that ICU and hospitalizations for Texas will exceed the July peak.

You can tell that El Paso is likely exporting a good chunk of its excess cases to Fort Worth, as ICU's there fill up. (very sudden jump in ICU/hospitalization rate that coincides with El Paso stabilizing as patients are shifted elsewhere.

We staved off the wave in July as we closed things down, and got the infection rate down. Hopefully we will do the same again.

All the projections from UT modeling have curved upwards. Texas is currently projected to exceed our July hospitalizations in about two weeks.

All metropolitan areas in texas are seeing rapid growth in case loads.

Dallas has now exceeded its Jul-Aug peak of COVID cases in their ICUs. El Paso has had to ship out patients as their system is overwhelmed, so this may be the cause of hte sudden spike here.

Galveston especially looks to have its ICU capacity overwhelmed, and will have to start exporting patients elsewhere in the state, just like El Paso.

Still don't hear anything substantial from the Governor's office. Looks like we will not get the kinds of restrictions we need to get thing under control before the next record case/death toll.

Texas excess deaths are twice what we have for confirmed Corona deaths. This has been explained to you already, and the data is readily available.

The other states, unlike Texas, reasonably include these probable COVID deaths in their totals.

The lying sacks of shit Republicans that run this state want morons like you to believe it isn't as bad as it really is.

What happens to Texas' standing when you double the death rate to make the data actually comparable?

Texas hospitals prepare to administer Covid vaccine shots in less than three weeks
PUBLISHED TUE, NOV 24 20202:45 PM ESTUPDATED 4 HOURS AGO

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/24/texas-hospitals-prepare-to-administer-covid-vaccine-shots-in-less-than-three-weeks.html


The state rolled out its vaccine allocation plan Monday, outlining who will get it first. Top priority is going to hospital employees and nursing home staff, EMTs, home health-care workers and the state’s most vulnerable residents. Gov. Greg Abbott said the state is prepared to distribute the vaccine as early as Dec. 12.

“We have known months in advance that the vials of the vaccine are already in place,” Abbott told CNBC. “And those vials are ready to be sent to us the day after the emergency use authorization is provided.”

U.S. to test run vaccine distribution networks as it awaits FDA clearance
UPDATED TUE, NOV 24 20206:16 PM EST
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/24/coronavirus-live-updates.html

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said that the U.S. federal government is conducting a practice run this week of its coronavirus vaccine distribution networks with some test shipments as the drugs await emergency approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in “just a few weeks.”

The shipments, which won’t contain the actual vaccine vials, will test the systems used by state health departments to order vaccine doses to “ensure that all goes smoothly,” Azar said. The test is part of a series of field exercises under the Trump administration’s vaccine program Operation Warp Speed.

“If all goes well, we could be distributing vaccine soon after Dec. 10,” Azar said during a press briefing. “We believe we can distribute vaccine to all 64 jurisdictions within 24 hours of FDA authorization. Then we hope administration can begin as soon as the product arrives.”

MURRAY — Intensive care unit bed utilization across all Utah hospitals is currently at 88%, according to the state health department's Monday report, while ICU beds are 92% occupied at the 16 Utah hospitals best equipped to care for COVID-19 patients.

"When 85% capacity is reached, Utah will be functionally out of staffed ICU beds, indicating an overwhelmed hospital system," the state's coronavirus website states.

Had a coworker who had a kidney stone in the middle of the last peak. She had to wait for almost an entire day to get to an ER slot in round rock from where she was in south austin. They asked her if she could please go home, but she was in debilitating pain.

Curfew issued in SA for the weekend


The City of San Antonio has issued a nightly curfew for Thanksgiving and the weekend afterward, according to a public health emergency declaration (https://covid19.sanantonio.gov/files/assets/public/files/about/11th-addendum-to-the-8th-declaration-of-public-health-emergency.pdf).
The declaration says the curfew starts 10 p.m. on Nov. 26 and will go until 5 a.m. for “all social activities,” like gathering outside of households. The curfew will reoccur nightly and end 5 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 30.
Violators could face up to $1,000 in fines, the declaration says.
Restaurants with dine-in service must also abide by the curfew and close at 10 p.m. and not reopen until 6 a.m. during the select dates.

Texas School Districts Risk State Funding If They Go Remote After Thanksgiving

The latest guidance from the Texas Education Agency warns school leaders against proactively moving their entire district to remote learning.

The agency’s updated rules state that districts which return to 100% virtual instruction without documented cases of the coronavirus will only get credit for half days.

If districts opt to go remote anyways,

they will either have to add days to their calendar or lose state funding.

Districts are funded based on enrollment and attendance.

Current projections are that ICU and hospitalizations for Texas will exceed the July peak.

You can tell that El Paso is likely exporting a good chunk of its excess cases to Fort Worth, as ICU's there fill up. (very sudden jump in ICU/hospitalization rate that coincides with El Paso stabilizing as patients are shifted elsewhere.

We staved off the wave in July as we closed things down, and got the infection rate down. Hopefully we will do the same again.

Projections flattening, with Houston lagging rest of state (it was the last to enter the uptick, so that isn't too surprising)

Looks like shutdowns imposed had the desired effect. Again.

(edit)
Dallas seems to have maxxed out its ICU capacity and is therefore probably shipping its patients else where in state. (same pattern as el paso, rising curve and sustained flat amount as ICUs fill up and patients are shunted elsewhere. Cases still growing there, and in Houston, so even with the less dense counties reporting slightly fewer cases the large metropolitan areas will counter balance that for a while.

Check back in, in another couple of weeks.

2,000 Additional Healthcare Workers Headed To Texas Hospitals As Cases Surge To Record Levels

at least 2,000 state-contracted healthcare personnel are “in the process of deploying” to hospitals around the state.

the state has already deployed more than 7,500 personnel.

As of Dec. 2, 138 Texas hospitals reported immediate “critical staffing shortages” (https://healthdata.gov/dataset/covid-19-reported-patient-impact-and-hospital-capacity-state) to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. At the time, that number was expected to grow by about 20 within a week.

Hospitalizations are also surging. More than 9,000 Texans are hospitalized with COVID-19 for the first time since the summer surge.

Rural areas of Texas have been under extreme stress due to COVID-19 hospitalizations as cases surge.

“They don't have an ICU,” he said.

“They're not used to handling ventilated patients.

And they just — they don't have the staff that it requires to take care of a COVID patient.”

Larger hospitals have begun rejecting transfer requests at higher rates.

Gov. Greg Abbott has already ruled out

any new major mitigation measures at the state level. :lol FreeDUMBER, all y'all motherfuckers!

Looks like we are out of the woods. Hospitalizations are flattening and mostly dropping in the large cities. The alarming spike seems to have mostly peaked. El Paso, the epicenter is seeing actual declines.

Hope it continues so that the health care workers can catch a break.Is the Thanksgiving spike reflected in the data yet? Seems premature to unclench with Xmas/New Year's coming.

Nope. Takes a couple of weeks for that to happen, based on past events. If there is an uptick we should see the slow decline in cases start reversing.

COVID Updates:

1,210 new COVID-19 cases reported in Bexar County


“It’s really going very, very much in the wrong direction,” Wolff said at the daily coronavirus briefing.

“Really some dangerous signs out there.

I believe we’re beginning to see the early effects of Thanksgiving.”

Wolff said Monday that

bars that don’t serve food will be required to close as of Thursday night

because of the high positivity rate. (https://www.expressnews.com/business/article/Very-very-much-in-the-wrong-direction-San-15782973.php)

41,000 students and

24,600 staff members

have tested positive

since the start of the school year — equal to slightly less than 2 percent of those on campuses, according to state estimates —

health experts said only a small share of those cases stem from in-classroom transmission. (https://www.expressnews.com/news/education/article/COVID-spread-remains-minimal-in-Texas-schools-15782254.php)

BigCorp corruption in action in shithole Texas

As COVID spiked in Texas, lawmakers escaped to Maui for a corporate-backed confab on the economy

The Independent Voter Project has paid for Texas legislators to attend its annual conference in Maui for a decade.

But no one reported these freebies for years.

https://dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com/resizer/CEsOsHGTAdqb2C1C1Rt4I8AEB4Q=/1660x934/smart/filters:no_upscale()/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/dmn/OS5UQAI2URFS3KBLIB6XT7HJSQ.jpg

Hosted by the Independent Voter Project, a San Diego-based nonprofit,

this year’s conference reportedly brought together at least 50 people, including about 20 state legislators from California and Texas (https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-lawmakers-schmooze-at-Hawaii-getaway-15732099.php),

to discuss ways to restart the economy during the pandemic.

:lol how about AFTER the Repug-prolonged pandemic?

Ethics watchdogs have long criticized the four-day confab as an

industry-backed tropical getaway masquerading as a policy conference.

Albuquerque related (one hospital) from a few months back: special screening protocols for patients who "look native." Some mothers with pending tests were separated from their newborns, even though they had not symptoms, and no known direct contact with infected people.

Non-Native American patients were not subjected to the same screening/protocol.


At Lovelace, only women who appear to be Native American were singled out for the additional examination, even if they showed no symptoms and had not been in contact with a person who has tested positive for the illness, clinicians said.


“This isn’t about where you live or if you live in a hot spot — it’s about whether someone thinks you look Native,” a clinician explained. “The only people for whom we’ve been told to check ZIP codes are patients who appear to be Native.”

There's always misinformation spread on the internet. I don't think it plays a major role. Imo the underlying reason is the arrogance of experts at CDC, NIH, etc believing and telling the public that this could be stopped followed by politicians taking action to "stop" the virus. Should have been straight with the public that this is a long slog from the get go and enacted sustainable strategies.

I called it an ever rising tide. That's what it is.

People are using the term waves because that's how we talk about influenza, which comes and goes seasonally. This virus obviously isn't going anywhere. The graph just shows the tide rising at varying rates but it's always rising. That will continue until everyone gets infected.

Texas raises the white flag: says counties cannot do any more, nor will it.

(Harvey Kronberg is as old school as it gets.)


As coronavirus numbers spike in Texas, DSHS Commissioner Hellerstedt tells county judges that government has maxed out on what it can do

"I think government has reached the limits of what it regulates and controls and licenses,” Dr. Hellerstedt said on a Wednesday conference call, adding it’s all about persuasion now: “Politics is not a four-letter word. It’s how we get things done.”

As county judges – Republicans and Democrats – from Southeast Texas on Wednesday shared frustrations about rising numbers of COVID-19 cases and confusion about vaccine distribution, the head of the Department of State Health Services told them that “government has reached the limits of what it regulates and controls and licenses” in the fight against the outbreak.

Dr. John Hellerstedt, DSHS Commissioner, told county officials from Fort Bend, Montgomery, Colorado, Wharton, Brazoria, Waller, and Austin Counties on a conference call that no further restrictions would be coming from Gov. Greg Abbott’s administration and that the best thing they can do now is to try to change “hearts and minds” about behavior.

That’s as the state was reporting a record 11,992 people in Texas hospitals with lab confirmed COVID.

According to those familiar with the discussion, Commissioner Hellerstedt told county judges that even as a medical professional – he is a Doctor of Medicine – he could not advise them to use any government restrictions that Gov. Abbott has unilaterally prohibited through his executive orders.

But even as Hellerstedt made the case that the best tool available now is persuasion, a GOP County judge said that would be very difficult because there have been “so many mixed messages from top down” during the pandemic.
