In Texas, an 11-month-old with COVID had to be sent to a hospital 150 miles away due to lack of bed space in Houston's pediatric hospitals.

"We looked at all five major pediatric hospital groups and none [had beds] available."

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- In a sign that the delta variant is affecting more children on a daily basis, an 11-month-old girl from the Houston area had to be airlifted to Temple because no pediatric hospitals in Houston would accept her as a transfer patient.

"She needed to be intubated immediately because she was having seizures," said Patricia Darnauer, the administrator for LBJ Hospital. "We looked at all five major pediatric hospital groups and none [had beds] available."

In video and photos provided by Harris Health Systems, we see the little girl being wheeled to an air ambulance. She will be receiving treatment at Baylor Scott & White McLane Children's Medical Center, 150 miles away in Temple.

The situation is sad but not surprising for Dr. Christina Propst, who is one of the most outspoken pediatricians in Houston. Ever since the pandemic began, Propst has encouraged masking, social distancing, and being cautious to anyone who would listen.

Arkansas hospitals are now calling hospitals in MILWAUKEE to transfer Covid patients to, because every closer bed is filled.

This ends with the inability for ANYONE to get ANY treatment in those areas because they are overwhelmed, and the death count will soar.

6. Not good!

2. Poor baby. I have two grand nieces who are 1 and 4, and 1 grand nephew who is age 2,

all recovering from Covid-Delta. They were exposed by a family member who knew there was an outbreak in her church, the pastor is in the hospital, and she herself is sick with Covid. The family member believes in God's protection, etc... She also believes in lying out her ass, until the grand babies tested positive and the 4 y/o was very ill. She then finally admitted there was an outbreak at her church, and the pastor is indeed in the hospital with Covid and the congregation was asked to keep quiet, because it was a church matter.

The church has been turned in to the county and state health dept., and OSHA. OSHA responded the quickest. Gave the church 5 days to respond with the information they seek. I tried researching this church. The church is not listed as a non profit, 501c3, or church- according to OSHA, the church is listed under _____ and Associates, which is also not listed as a non profit or a 501c3. The social media of the church and it's members have been all but scrubbed, exception being a few online Sunday services, but just 2-3 members are responding to those. Church gets sketchier the more I research. The pastor and his wife have scrubbed their FB pages, just like most of their members. Currently trying to research the pastor and his wife, and trying to figure out where their money is coming from.

The little ones are better today, but it's been horrible for them for the last 6 days. The 4 y/o was hit the hardest. Very high temps, she said her 'neck hurt' (throat), but all three were vomiting, diarrhea, and no appetite. Not quite out of the woods, but I'll know more tonight after our daily call.

4. Poor babies....hope they all feel better soon.

How godly of the infector and the church to lie and cover it up.

7. I can think of some members here who swore up and down...

That kids won't be impacted by the virus.

Wonder if they've got enough integrity to admit that they were wrong?
