    "......Dr. Jeffrey DellaVolpe, a pulmonologist and the director of the ECMO program at San Antonio Methodist Hospital told CNN that this explosion of cases is not something he and other healthcare professionals were at all prepared for.

    "Yesterday was probably the worst day I ever had," DellaVolpe said. "I got 10 calls. Young people who would otherwise be excellent candidates to be able to put on ECMO."

    ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), is a therapy that adds oxygen to one's blood and pumps it through their body.

    "They're so sick that if they don't get put on, if they don't get the support, they are going to die," DellaVolpe explained.

    The problem is, DellaVolpe explained that he only had three beds available in the unit of the hospital that provides ECMO......"

    "....for ECMO, Methodist Hospital is using this method to keep patients off ventilators. "I think the ventilator really causes a lot of harm. It causes harm in general but certainly causes harm when we're talking about patients with COVID," DellaVolpe said.

    "You're artificially pushing more air into your lungs and causing more damage that way," he added......


    I think that's the first time I've seen a doctor say ventilators are really bad to use on covid patients

    I think it's been a last resort for some time now. That's why demand for ventilators wasn't sustained.

    Texas Landlords Are Filing Hundreds of Illegal Evictions

    As courts reopen in Harris County, tenants may be removed from their homes as COVID-19 cases skyrocket, despite CARES Act protections that guarantee shelter.

    In late April, the landlord at 2929 Dunvale Apartments—a garden-style apartment complex in Midwest Houston with one-bedroom apartments starting at $700 a month—filed to evict six tenants.

    A month later, seven tenants at Concord at Little York, a three-story complex tucked behind
    I-45 in North Houston, were hit with eviction filings.

    Between May 26 and June 17,
    the property manager at Inwood Grove, a tree-studded property in northwest Houston, filed to evict 17 households.

    All of these cases appear to be in violation of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security

    (CARES) Act, which prohibits landlords from filing for eviction at properties that benefit from federal subsidies until July 25.

    of the 3,652 evictions filed in Harris County between March 27 and June 22, at least 368 of those—about 10 percent—appear to be filed in violation of the CARES Act.

    the eviction moratorium covered 12.3 million of the 43.8 million rental units in the United States—

    in May, the Texas Supreme Court acknowledged that a third of Texas renters could be covered.

    tenants may be removed from their homes despite the legal protections that guarantee shelter as COVID-19 cases skyrocket.

    On May 14, the Texas Supreme Court ended its statewide eviction moratorium by allowing courts to hear new cases starting May 19.

    “All you need is one voucher tenant in a complex to make everyone [who lives there] eligible for CARES Act protection.”

    Large corporate landlords have also moved to evict tenants in clear violation of CARES Act protections,

    “These are not small mom-and-pop landlords, these are gigantic—in some cases multi-billion-dollar—companies that have decided for some reason that the federal law doesn’t apply to them,”

    “The law is clear that it prohibits not just actual eviction,

    removing someone from their home,

    but also the threat of eviction,”

    Even if a case is dismissed, eviction filings often remain on a tenant’s record, making it

    significantly harder to find housing in the future.

    “That is one of the big injuries that this can cause for people—if you’ve been sued for eviction,

    even if the case was dismissed, that can often have really dramatic effects on your ability to rent somewhere else,”

    “A lot of housing providers would just automatically deny anybody who’s been sued for eviction, no matter what the cir stances are,”

    judges aren’t empowered to investigate whether or not a property is covered by the CARES Act.

    “If someone completes an affidavit and no one challenges it, we sort of have to take it,”

    https://www.texasobserver.org/evicti...eid=b9077e7e26

    Will the Repugs do anything? Texas is worse off now than it was in March-April.

    The latest data show that the percentage of deaths in the country attributable to those factors had as of the last week in June reached its lowest point since the end of last year, becoming "equal to the [current] epidemic threshold of 5.9%," the CDC said.

    The agency notes that the official tally of deaths "will likely change as more death certificates are processed, particularly for recent weeks." Yet the number of deaths attributable to COVID-19, pneumonia and influenza have been declining for 10 straight weeks, the agency said on its website, suggesting COVID-19 may cease to qualify as an epidemic in the next few weeks

    Texas Mayors Hit Back At Trump’s Claim That 99% Of COVID-19 Cases Are ‘Harmless’

    Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner

    When asked whether the President’s baseless claim that 99% of COVID-19 cases are “totally harmless” holds up in Houston, Turner told CBS News’ Margaret Brennan that “no, that’s not the case.”

    Austin Mayor Steve Adler

    Pressed on Trump’s false claim that 99% of coronavirus cases are “completely harmless” during an interview on CNN, Adler said that the President’s remark “makes me angry” and that it’s “dangerous not to be sending a clear message to Americans.”

    How Trump’s Failures Turned Dallas Into A Virus Hotspot

    Trump not only failed to channel existing stimulus funds to hard-hit areas like Dallas but also refused to use his clout to push an acceptable local government aid package through Congress.

    Trump's reckless conduct allowed Dallas—along with
    large swaths of the South and West—to become the COVID-19 hotspots they are right now.

    Face masks and social distancing play critical roles in controlling the spread of COVID-19.

    But many people across the country, including some in Texas, refused to follow those guidelines.

    Now, they're paying the price with soaring infection rates.


    "This is a part of the country where it's warm, it's hot, and it's uncomfortable to wear a mask," Luckhardt explained. "And people don't like mandates."


    Trump could have made a difference.

    Trump emboldened mask opponents by refusing to wear one himself.

    He even ridiculed people for putting them on.

    "I think that significantly helped politicize things to the point where you were macho if you didn't wear one,"

    Trump's mass gatherings—like his campaign rallies in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Phoenix in June—signal that

    it's all right for Americans to assemble for parties and other events even though the virus spreads swiftly through large groups.
