Interesting read about ICU capacity from Houston Hospital CEO'S.

I don’t have numbers on this, but from what I hear, I high percentage of deaths are from that population. In fact, the CDC has asked that all deaths from diabetes, heart, or stroke be classified as a COVID death, whether the patient tested positive or not. People with those diseases imply an older population.

It sure this is a fact...

They will never tell you that.







One would think this would be obvious. But too many people are too stupid to put two and two together







Not doubting you, but do you have a source for this claim? A link or anything?

You are correct.

Fox News is reporting that the CDC is saying that for every case reported in the past , 10 went unreported.

This makes makes the increase in testing more plausible for the increase in cases.

I wonder what is the purpose of the CDC asking to have those cases from diabetes, heart and stroke being classified as Covid? I would think that would inflate and skewer the facts/numbers.

Just to be clear I don't doubt for a second you are correct. My next door neighbor works for Baylor Scott & White adn he told me months ago, they were classifying patients admitted and dying with Covid 19... Just makes wonder.

Dr. Robert Redfield is the head of the CDC. He has a VERY checkered past, including falsifying medical research in the Army several years ago in an attempt to profit from the fake data. Dr. Birx was his assistant at that time. She may not have been involved in the falsification, but she had a front row seat to see him do it. She's been very critical of him lately. She said a few weeks ago that she wouldn't trust anything the CDC says right now.

There no way in hail their tracking those numbers correctly. Unless folks are in the hospital or have died.....how are the tracking the recovered folks? Are they basing on a 14 day infection duration if you test positive? These numbers are nothing but a wag.

If you test positive are they following up with you?

The total cases vs recovery vs death just don't make sense.

This. more testing = more positive cases. Same % of positives per test, we had a month ago.

This is what I believe, I have no numbers to back this up, except a wee bit of logic.

[Pedernal]

Bringing this back to the top for any first hand updates....

For those that work in hospitals and or have family that works in hospitals. What are the latest reports??

Good gosh almighty! Newsweek, CNN, MSNBC etc came out the end of last week with a headline that said "Houston Hospitals Are At 100% Full Capacity" which was 100% friggin BS! If any of y'all are relying on the media including FoxNews to get your information then good luck with that.

This is straight from the horses mouth. Do your own research to find out what's really going on.

The number of hospitalizations are "being misinterpreted," said Houston Methodist CEO Marc Boom, "and, quite frankly, we’re concerned that there is a level of alarm in the community that is unwarranted right now."

"We do have the capacity to care for many more patients, and have lots of fluidity and ability to manage," Boom said.

He pointed out that his hospital one year ago was at 95% ICU capacity, similar to the numbers the hospital is seeing today. "It is completely normal for us to have ICU capacities that run in the 80s and 90s," he said. "That's how all hospitals operate."

He noted that around 25% of ICU patients are COVID-19-positive. But the hospital "[has] many levers in our ability to adjust our ICU," he said, claiming that the hospital capacity regularly reported by the media is "base" capacity rather than surge capacity.
