The headlines keeps saying that Houston ICU's are overflowing. That is bullshit. First, there is substantial SURGE capacity still available.
Second, the head of Houston Methodist just said that they operate at 70-80% of ICU NORMALLY!
Third, most of the cases 70-80% are NON COVID
Fourth, NORMAL CAPACITY is 1330 Beds in a city of 7 million!
Based on that chart and assuming about 30% are currently COVID patients, you would have to triple the number of hospitalized COVID patients to hit actual peak.
they think it will happen in 10 days. Therefore masks and social distancing! Fucking hell, we just went through this it's as if the media just runs the same play over and over and people eat it up.
