Dumbest poster on the board,
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.

'I Am Very Concerned' —
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” 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.FreeDUMBER, all y'all mother ers!

ICU head space used drops in the metro areas, as does positive case counts.
Looks like we are out of the woods. Hospitalizations are flattening and mostly dropping in the large cities. The alarming e 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 e reflected in the data yet? Seems premature to unclench with Xmas/New Year's coming.
Yeah not out of the woods. Not even close.
Wolff and the Mayor said yesterday they fully expect numbers to continue to rise in SA this week due to Thanksgiving.
Pres of the California Hospital Association just said on CNN that they still have people in hospitals from the Halloween weekend in her state.
This is going to be a slog everywhere.
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.
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.

All good in your zip code, DarrinS?
the Alberta data reveals that 77.1% of people who died of COVID-19 did so while grappling with 3 or more underlying conditions. The percentage of people who have died with zero underlying conditions is 2%, and that tally includes people in their 90s.
WrongdomGuy bwagahhahahahahahahhaha
^ gossip and meltdown
"On Monday, officials announced that
the positive test rate in Bexar County jumped more than 6 percentage-points,
from 9.2 percent last week
to 15.7 percent this week. "

"Not a problem in my zip code."
