Seems unnecessary to keep pointing out it's a "record high" number of hospitalizations, given the curve we're clearly on it's gonna be a while before that number moves in any direction but up

The infection rate is also alarming. I think we're heading towards Abbott's goal.

Hospital bed use in Bexar County jumped from 267 to 322 in one day. I don't know how we can sustain that kind of rise. The available staffed bed percentage seems to stick to 25% though for some reason.

I’m in Comal and we were barely over 100 cases before Memorial Day. We just hit 240 with 58 more probable for 298 total. It’s tripled in like 3 weeks, mostly in the NB area

Often those are closed due to flesh eating bacteria. The refineries are wayyyyyyyyy closer to the city center than you would think too.

The only cool part of Corpus are the snowballs and the turtle hatchings you can see during the summer. Like little oreos scurrying towards the ocean

Everything you think of that's any good in that area is not actually in Corpus Christi, except for the state aquarium and the aircraft carrier, which are both pretty cool.

I still remember the talk we got as kids on why you don't run on the ship, especially the flight deck. "The deck is non skid, which means ig you fall your skin does not skid on it as the rest of you leaves it behind" Its amazing how much smaller the bunks are sleeping in them as dad instead of kid though.

Then we always bought turkey necks and string and went crabbing under a bridge to do a crab boil. Those were really fun trips.

I grew up in Oklahoma and have really just lived landlocked, so anything that isn't completely landlocked is impressive. And the state aquarium is fantastic.

First hand info from working in the Supply Chain dept at a hosptial southwest of Houston: We are SLAMMED right now. Past two weeks Emergency dept. was continually increasing in traffic, and now in my shift (3rd aka graveyard) the dept. is either near max capacity or at max (yesterday was the first day in a long time I saw patient overflow in the dept. hallways). We have two ICUs, long term and post surgery. Both are either near or at max capacity. Haven't seen it like that in a long time. I honestly don't know how they are managing patient flow at the moment. Patient floors are split into three floors, each floor split into three wings. When the pandemic was originally hitting, at its height each floor converted one wing each into COVID only wings. Eventually one floor's wing stayed COVID only while the others converted back. In the past two weeks, the other two wings have been converted back into COVID only to handle the influx of confirmed cases. As my dept. handles all the supply rooms, we are responsible for not only stocking them daily, but for setting up new rooms. The Postpartum floor is currently having a section renovated with additional patient rooms, and we're responsible for setting up two new supply rooms for that floor. We were just told that the plans for our supply rooms have accelerated, and while we couldn't confirm it, it seems like the accelerated demand is due to wanting emergency available rooms for non-COVID patient overflow. Again, I'm not in a dept. that is directly responsible for patient care, but as we supply all dept. on all floors, we see how the hospital flows. ICUs are slammed. Emergency is slammed. Elective surgeries are up. Cardiac dept. operations are up. Labor/Deliveries are up. Postpartum occupation is up. I cannot stress this enough -- ABBOTT IS A loving IDIOT. I'm not a high-level hospital executive. I'm a cog in the machine there and I see the obvious, the hands-off approach is not working, and the fact that Abbott and the general population have embraced what is a mix of ignorance, incompetence, and outright pride in republican/conservative stupidity toward this is loving sickening.

What a loving failed experiment, humanity was.
