For the first time ever we now have over 2000 Covid patients currently hospitalized in Texas
Texas reports two consecutive days of record coronavirus hospitalizations weeks after reopening
Texas has reported two consecutive days of record-breaking Covid-19 hospitalizations as the state continues to open businesses and resume activities that were temporarily shuttered due to the coronavirus.www.cnbc.com
I wonder how bad it's going to have to get before Covid is the lead story in the news once again. People have forgotten
I been saying over and over that hospitalizations take quite some time to see increase after rise in cases. You have people adamant that rises in cases just mean more testing. But they don't realize that adding 10K+ new cases a week still mean a bunch of people may end up in the hospital eventually. Whether that is a small positive % or not.
Texas have been trending way up the past 2 weeks. It went from like 7K a week 3 weeks ago to over 11K last week, Sunday-Monday.
The US dealing with COVID-19:
No country is going to open borders to Americans for years to come and if they do they'll require a 14-day quarantine.
Well, I don't know about years. By the end of next year a vaccine should be widely available. So, maybe just until then.
It's been an epic disaster. We now have one of the worst jobless rate drops from covid in the world, and we have one of the worst health related responses. Most developed countries did well on at least one of those fronts, or tried to do well in both, whereas the US was basically fuck it, let the dice fall and we'll give tons of printer money to billionaires and investors.
Wishful thinking assuming the vaccine will be free to all Americans
Just recently they've been reporting 100+ cases on a daily basis. If the trend continues, that's 1,000 cases in like 7 days.
Right, let's watch the trends. Reporting on one day really doesn't do us any good.
This is 5x where they were 2 weeks ago. It's fucking significant and the trendlines are increasing.
At least I've been able to go 3 days without reposting my copypasta. That may change tonight though stay tuned.
I have reasonable doubt people will just fall in line to take the vaccine even if they were supporters of lockdown, wearing mask and various approach to curb the virus in the first place.
It's not just the Trumpers or conspiracy theorists, I think some people are naturally worried about a fast track vaccine without long term observations trials for side effects. Not to mention people can be rather selfish and would want other to take the vaccine instead for the population to reach herd immunity.

Massively up tonight. 400 higher than previous high it looks like. Hospitalizations up again.
Jefferson county to 500+ today
New cases and hospitalizations are all time high. There is already a clear trend.
On May 25th, the 7 days moving average was 1001. Including today numbers, the 7 days moving average is over 1700.

the people that can't afford the vaccine can't afford to travel abroad...
No other city had been handling it as well as SA. If even their numbers are spiking, the whole state's in for a bumpy ride.
One interesting stat in Dallas county is that only 20% of the population is hispanic but they represent over 60% of covid19 cases
The tolls on Black/Brown people that this disease has is heartbreaking.
- No support from the federal government
- No support from local government
- No support from corporations
- Most needed to do "essential work" yet not seriously compensated for it
- Not skilled to work from home
- Let go at higher rates during the shutdowns
- Harassed by entitled and privileged people who refuse to take the disease seriously, because those with privilege will most likely be fine
The people at the bottom are getting attacked, and it's no wonder BLM is so big rn.
There a study that says that covid spreads quicker via dense households instead of population density.
Hispanic households tend to be bigger because of necessity. Multi generational families that all live together under one roof to save rent.
It's explains why LA has a higher proportion of CA's cases as well.
Doesn't bode well for reopening as this means that the primary mode of transmission is prolonged contact indoors.
It's so fucking dumb. If Disney bought up 300mil doses they'd probably make it all back just on theatre revenues. At some point someone's gonna do some math and figure out not vaccinating everyone is much more expensive than vaccinating everyone. Damned anti-vaxers probably fuck up the math though.
Via SF Chronicle:
Texas has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country, a huge Latino population, and many face similar circumstances.
EDIT: Everything hateradio said.
Pretty sure that person was just talking about San Antonio. State wide it's been a clear upward trend. Another two thousand cases today
And then they pivot back to hospitalizations, as if adding all those new cases won't affect hospitalizations when we all know that lag by a couple weeks.

Definitely noticing a downward trend of people using masks in places like grocery and liquor stores in Mesquite, which is in Dallas County about 20min from downtown Dallas.
This state won't care again until 1800 new positives a day is 1800 dead a day.
Texas has capitulated to coronavirus.
Texas has capitulated to coronavirus.
I believe they say ~9% of cases result in hospitalization. So that's 60 more hospitalizations a day on average and likely getting worse. By the time anything is done stop it the damage will have already been done.
wasn't there already an excess of pneumonia related deaths compared to the annual average
In Dallas county they made sure to get testing sites in lower income zipcodes pretty quickly but it hasn't been enough to curb the spread
As a Texan this frightens me. I hardly go out as is but still. I just went to the dollar store yesterday and of course nobody was wearing a mask.
i can imagine some don't want to know if they have it because then it would mean having to miss work and struggling financially.
I've counted at least four businesses mentioned in my local FB group that are in downtown Round Rock that had to re-close after having opened because an employee tested positive.
