Texas could have used a better lawyer, sounds like.
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. erstedt 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 erstedt, 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.
Bwahaha
Ne er over capacity
Gift shop ICUs are a-go. Hospitals fine.
Why do you laugh at the dead?
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.

(governor says .... )
in the texas thread
Wrongwrong guy needs a vax. Too big
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 ordered that all procedures not “immediately, medically necessary” 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,”

Never 1 over capacity
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.
