Average hospital stays are 10 days to 2 weeks. But 25% need more than 3 weeks.

Projections are Houston Metro will be out of the "Sustainable surge ICU beds" in about 12 days. Then they will begin converting Medical/Surgical units into ICU beds, or sending patients to Louisiana.

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...
