‘All the Hospitals Are Full’: In Houston, Overwhelmed ICUs Leave COVID-19 Patients Waiting in ERs | Talking Points Memo

So how is Dallas doing? You know the virus will take a big bite out of that sprawling metro when it finally hits, probably closer to the election. It’s just a matter of time.

And the TX state GOP doesn’t care. They want it to happen. Just ask them. People must die as a human sacrifice to appease the Second Coming of God’s appetite for the dramatic and headlines. He will rescue them just in the nick of time before Biden imposes socialism on them.

Checking on the Dallas county (a bit over 30K cases) is right behind Harris county (almost 41K cases) in Covid-19 cases at this point according to the Texas DSHS dashboard

OMG, you mean we could end up with more Republicans??? Finally a viable explanation for their idiotic behavior…

Thought about that, how weird it would be to hit campus and have trepidations about sharing a joint, passing a bowl around, bong rips, etc. Here’s to a distant hope that vape pens (use your own, don’t share!) and edibles drive that vector down.

And let’s not talk about beer pong, beer bongs…or a local drinking game fav called “Sink the Biz”…ewwwww.

Engaging in preparation for the virus conflicts with the message that the virus is going away and it’s time to reopen so the economy can recover. Wishful thinking and blindly following a deluded leader turns out to have some pretty awful consequences. Yet that’s the path that has put us all where we are now - threatened by a terrible unchecked disease and watching our economy tank even further.

The tweeter in chief said it is totally harmless to 99% of the people who catch it. Has he ever lied to us.

Reliant stadium has not become a field hospital yet? What the hell?

Secondly Texas Medical Board you need to accept FCVS credentialling cause you are going to need a lot more physicians. What the hell.

Stay strong Houston. I miss you.

Just heard my Houston peeps have a confirmed positive (nearly symptomless) and a presumed positive (feeling pretty crummy.) These are SENIORS. Who probably got it at a medical facility as they don’t otherwise go out.

Pray for us.

Oh, no.

I will pray for you and them.
We’ve been down this awful road with my mom, who survived and is doing well, to everyone’s surprise.

Thank you… congrats on your mom. No updates today so far. I suppose real test results will take a couple of days at least.
