Same thing is happening in Mississippi. Not sure what to make of it, but interesting.
Yea it's strange. I wish there was a way to know the age of new hospital cases. If they were mostly young, that would help explain it.
But as a whole since March, We've had 3208 hospital cases per MSDH website. 77% of those are over 50. I am curious whether that is trending more towards younger people being hospitalized or are is the rise in hospitalizations still mostly older people.
Yesterday was the lowest US death total for a Wednesday since March 25th. Deaths continue to fall.Quote:

I've noticed that too. It's interesting. Possibly we are better at treating it and keeping people out of the ICU.Quote:

So if that holds up the more people that get it now the better but I'd like to see overall numbers dropping soon because it's freaking people out which means they'll start locking stuff down very very soon.
Let's put it like this, 98.2 percent of Mississippi HASN't tested positive. Are there more sure! Probably a whole lot more. But the point is, we are never going to know the number that had it and won't ever have a posit test. But the freak out is what is carrying this thing....Quote:

I suppose he's listening to medical experts (within Texas of course) but not that well educated libtard Fauci and not the "in-the-know" ED posters like homedawg. I can't believe he's not elated at the numbers and know in his heart that herd immunity is right around the corner.
If they would stop testing, their ICUs wouldn't be at capacity. Everyone also knows the heat kills this thing, so if Texas would just wait a couple weeks - it'll probably be gone forever. If everyone would just follow Homedawg and quit freaking out, it will run its course, skip over the elderly since no masks are needed, and we can get back to chucking the pigskin this fall.Quote:

This is something "behind the scenes" from someone that works at a hospital in a former hot spot.Quote:

The second is whereas the vent depending on what it's set on breaths or assists breathing for you versus oxygen where you are still breathing on your own.
And yes, we use the Trump drug and have had a lot of success with it.
I think my hospital and others who my guess is are doing the same thing aren't publicizing it because every time we do something the media criticizes and questions it. Fortunately, where I work we only care number one about people getting better and not who the President is. Everyone has lost complete sight of that. If something works and people get better because of it we should do it no matter who has a hand in it because I guarantee you someone somewhere is getting paid for it.
Todd I can assure y'all aren't the only ones treating using these methods. I spent the last 2 weeks traveling all over Arkansas and Oklahoma seeing my accounts and the hospitals I see are using similar treatments but as you said they aren't publicizing it. By the way Oklahoma didn't shutdown like most states hardly any one is wearing a mask they only have a little over 14000 cases and 400 deaths. Go and figure.Quote:

This is someone's estimate of actual daily cases, adjusted with test positivity. I believe the last few days would be around the 400K mark.
Let's assume this is correct... how many total cases so far?Quote:

Any info about how long ICU visits last? (I know this sounds terrible) Texas has a low death rate, so this probably really compounds the ICU problem.Quote:

Please don't also forget when COVID spikes, elective surgeries are cancelled. When elective surgeries are cancelled, health systems begin hemorrhaging money. The TX hospitals are flush w/ reserves, but if this trend picks up in MS - I don't know a lot of systems that will be able to manage financially.Quote:

Are you asking how long they are in the hospital or how long they are on the vent? Based on what I have seen and I have not collected any data this is just a pure educated guess here- I would say that the worst cases are 3-4 weeks. Most are shorter and I would guess the average would be somewhere between a week or a week and a half. Which may be way off but it's probably going to give you a decent idea of what to expect.Quote:

15% of the COVID ICU cases in Houston are in their 20s & 30sQuote:

Keep in mind, in Houston Metro on a normal 4th of July weekend, there are 2,300 car crashes, with 1,300 injuries. 200 of the injuries are severe enough to need ICU. And the ICU's are full. And the ER's are full of Covid positive people...
Wear a mask.
But that cannot be right, that would be the age of football players, and people on here say they don't die, so they should be ok to entertain me this fall.Quote:

People are going to get sick, some will die. I get it. But, if the virus causes the stop of an event, then when is it ever going to be ok to play??? good chance never.Quote:
