Like speed limits? SMOG tests?
Everything has an agenda in California.
Hey would you like a train? No just the money.

Yeah, but those numbers are averaged across the entire state of Texas. If you look at it that way (statewide) you could say that a large meteor exploded above Dallas Fort Worth and killed more than 100 people. Local hospitals were overwhelmed with the injured. Not a big deal though, because statewide, it hardly affects the 2020 mortality and hospitalization statistics for a state that is populated by almost 29 million people.
| quote | Texas is rushing thousands of additional medical staff to overworked hospitals as the number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients statewide accelerates toward 8,000 for the first time since a deadly summer outbreak.
In the worsening rural Panhandle, roughly half of the admitted patients in Lubbock’s two main hospitals had COVID-19, and a dozen people with the virus were waiting in the emergency room for beds to open up Tuesday night, said Dr. Ron Cook, the Lubbock County health authority.
“We’re in trouble,” Cook said.
In the Texas border city of El Paso, overwhelmed morgues have begun paying jail inmates $2 an hour to help transport the bodies of virus victims. The crush of patients is forcing the city to send its non-COVID-19 cases to hospitals elsewhere in the state.
More than 5,400 extra medical personnel have been deployed around Texas by the state alone, said Lara Anton, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services. And that doesn’t include the help surging into Texas from the military and volunteer organizations. |

Oh--I didn't realize there had been significant new messaging in this thread since the last time I looked in here.
That's OK.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 11-19-2020).]
