all of this could have been prevented.

I truly hope asshole abbott gets his ass handed to him next year.

I wonder if it's legal to start a go fund me for the Texas Dems out of state?

1. I really don't get it...

Like... None of it. How does anyone still support these loons? How can they still pretend it is all a hoax?

I just don't get it, they are insane.

2. My friend is one of them

she did not get the vaccine because she was several months pregnant. They had to deliver the baby through C-section and luckily it was Covid free but she has been intubated and had three minor strokes.

4. Covid is very dangerous to pregnant women.

They should be getting the vaccines as far as I can tell.

[katusha]

13. yes, I agree

I am sure she would too, but at the time she was advised to wait as her pregnancy was quite advanced.

3. None here in Marble Falls, either. No Covid tests being done, with a 8 - 9 hr wait to be triaged ...

(on Sunday). They're sending all Covid home who don't have breathing problems.

AUSTIN, Texas — There are only two ICU beds available for COVID-19 patients in Austin-area hospitals as of Monday night. Trauma Service Area (TSA) O, which covers Austin, serves 2.3 million people across 11 counties.


Austin-Travis County Health Authority Dr. Desmar Walkes said ICU capacity dropped to its lowest point since the start of the pandemic late Monday night.

Walkes said there were 551 COVID-19 patients in Austin-area hospitals on Monday, Aug. 9. Of those, 91 were in the ICU and 116 were on a ventilator.

In a joint meeting with the Austin City Council and Travis County Commissioners Court, Walkes noted that ICU capacity in other Texas metropolitan areas is also low.

“At this point, transfer between areas is difficult if not impossible,” Walkes said.

9. I wonder how many of those beds are occupied by mask wearing vaccinated people?

[Javaman]

11. from Kxan

80% of the people in the ICU are unvaccinated.

I can send you the link if you want.

14. 8 ICU beds left in the entire state of Arkansas

One patient was flown to freaking WYOMING, or so I read in WaPo. These red states, however are mostly flying a lot of their patients to blue state hospitals when they run out of beds.

[roamer65]

15. That needs to stop for the WILLFULLY unvaccinated ones.

The expenses aren’t justified.
