Jesus. Austin's hospitalization numbers are approaching the heights of July and we haven't even started getting the Christmas cases yet.Abbott has thrown in the towel. It's up to the counties to try to save people.


"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.

The dataset — which includes capacity reporting from hospitals in 2,200 counties in the U.S. — spotlights areas where hospitals are getting dangerously full. In 126 counties, the average hospital is at least 90% occupied, according to an analysis of the data by the COVID-19 Hospitalization Tracking Project. The states with the most counties above this threshold are Kentucky, Georgia, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Texas.

Early in the pandemic, Texas banned most abortions. After the ban lifted, second-trimester abortions jumped

Texas officials cited a need to preserve medical supplies as a reason to crack down on abortions. A new study finds that many Texans left the state during this time seeking the procedure.

The number of Texas residents who went out of state to receive

abortions leapt from 157 in February to 947 in April,

after Gov. Greg Abbott (https://www.texastribune.org/directory/greg-abbott/) ordered that all procedures not “immediately, medically necessary (https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-issues-executive-order-increasing-hospital-capacity-announces-supply-chain-strike-force-for-covid-19-response)” be postponed to contend with the nascent coronavirus pandemic

The number of abortions performed in Texas plummeted 38% in April 2020 when compared to the previous year.

But after the order had expired in May,

second-trimester abortions increased 61% likely reflecting “delays in care among those who waited

for an appointment and facilities’ limited capacity to meet backlogged patient need,”

Texas becomes first state to administer 1 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine

The milestone comes as

intensive care beds are dwindling across the state and

as experts predict daily coronavirus cases and hospitalizations will worsen following an influx of holiday season gatherings.

Congrats, shithole Texas, only 20M+ Texans, at minimum, remain to be vaccinated.

Covid-19 Live Updates: Virus Tightens Its Grip on Texas

The precarious situation in the state, which has seen more than 2.1 million cases and 32,000 deaths, is a threat to the gradual progress the United States is making in trying to flatten its curve.

Much of Texas remains overrun by the virus, threatening U.S. progress. (https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/01/20/world/covid-19-coronavirus#much-of-texas-remains-overrun-by-the-virus-threatening-us-progress)

New cases in Texas were averaging more than 20,000 per day on Monday.

The state has seen a steady increase in new cases since October, when there were approximately 4,000 a day on average,

Texas has reported more than 2.1 million cases, the second highest total in the country after California,

the United States has been averaging more than 200,000 new cases a day since Jan. 2

On Monday, Texas reported 111 deaths, bringing the total number of people lost to the virus in the state to more than 32,000 —

a sizable portion of the more than 400,000 total deaths (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html) reported in the United States.

Lol new guidance on cases...lolooooloo

Dallas tried to help the Blacks getting slaughtered by the pandemic, and said it would somehow give Blacks vaccine priority

shitbag racist TX state government said it would block vaccine to Dallas.

[boutons_deux]

Only one Texas county shows COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate needed for return to normal

Hesitancy to take a COVID-19 vaccine varies greatly in Texas, and

Dallas County residents are more likely than others to decline shots,

As Dallas County struggles to provide enough doses of vaccine for its residents,

it has to overcome an additional barrier in the pursuit of herd immunity and a return to normalcy —

the fact that about 1 in 4 residents don’t want to be vaccinated (https://link.dallasnews.com/lt.php?i=14269A14807A104A584532).

Texas official 2020 COVID death count (up to 12-26-20): 29955

Excess deaths, Texas to 12-26-20: 41619 (CDC dataset, ave excess minus observed, col F minus column C)

Texas official count as a percentage of probable real tally: 72%

The dataset for the year is pretty much complete at this point.

Add in the last twelve hundred people that died in the official count for 2020, and multiply by the 39% multiplier, and you get the ending tally as 43,472.

FWTW.

The population of a small town died from one disease in 2020.

...that's peanuts compared to mother fucker Biden's death count of 228k of dead Americans in just over six months, RG.

tee, hee.

We only need 4X deaths to catch up to NY

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

Texas at 183.

Assuming they use actual reported figures (same data set as avail at Texas Dept of health) that gave rise to the 1.39 multiplier, that puts Texas at 254. (also assumes that multiplier is fairly constant over time)

Given most of the states in the top basis actually used probable excess as part of their official counts, and Texas didn't, that is the only real way to compare them, i.e. apples to apples.

That puts Texas at #5 in deaths per million in the US.

8.6% more fatalities per million and we catch up to your NY metric.

Given vaccine hesitancy disparity between the two states, the well of dumbasses that will die off in Texas is proportionally larger than that of NY.

Looks like conservative dumbassery will put us, in the end, past NY.
