We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Well, I hope his point with that floorplan is to show that they aren't at 107% capacity.

His point is that 80% vs 107% is the approximate difference between 6 vs 7 people.

I pointed out that I doubt normal capacity is 107% and if you think it is. You are now dancing around not answering that question.

Think next time before you chime in, okay?

AND?

The ICU at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital in northeast Houston was at 100 percent capacity Thursday morning, according to system officials.

Ben Taub hospital was at 90 percent capacity Thursday, which means there is at risk of running out of beds in its ICU.

Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, both facilities reported a high capacity in ICUs.

Harris Health Systems CEO Esmaeil Porsa said there are about 51 COVID-19 patients across the Harris Health System hospitals and administrators have been watching the virus cases steadily increase.

Both LBJ and Ben Taub are on different levels of diversions, meaning some patients are being taken to other hospitals.

So running the math after looking at the floor plan, they have 15 in a 14 bed ICU.

Great. I hope that they move patients to where there isn't 107% ICU capacity.

It's not an argument. It's data and math. Remember what I said about you and those? You're proving me correct.

Now, let's stop cluttering the thread with your agenda, please.

Are there any other countries in the world currently fighting this pandemic where it's so politicized?

Saying they are 107% of capacity is misleading and bullshit. (Fear Mongering) Especially when you consider the locations of these hospitals and their usual occupancy.
Sure, I agree that a headline of "Houston area hospital is at 107%, shut shit down!!" would be very misleading in that case, especially if that's like 1 bed.... but, I was pointing out there's a lot of gray area between that end of the spectrum and completely disregarding it, especially since there are also non-Covid ramifications of having Covid patients occupying beds that are typically in use anyway (again, if it's one bed...).

Again, nothing I can think of sounds hair-on-fire shut it all down level of urgency right now, but within any fear mongering headline, there can also be valid concerns from the healthcare professionals in that particular hospital and others.... and with exponential math, things can change quickly.

On that note, for whatever reason, this set things off, and it isn't unreasonable at all:

In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott warned that "tougher actions" may be imposed if the numbers there continue to spike, but he stressed that closing down the state again "will always be the last option."

"Covid-19 is now spreading at an unacceptable rate in Texas, and it must be corralled," Abbott said Monday. Houston’s Health Department said Harris County hospitals have a 177% increase in Covid-19 positive patients since May 31.

60,000 people marching for weeks probably was going to have this effect. I'm sorry people protested.

Shame
