Guys, I'm hunkered down here in my basement in an nondiisclosed location in Houston. I've been down here for the last month. Can somebody tell me if there is any sign of life in what we call the upperworld?

The hospital I work at has been performing electives since we reopened. This week we had to stop some electives that might require an inpatient bed for post-op because we can't accommodate them. We've plateaued at 95% capacity of ICU and around 90% medsurg beds. We can't go higher because the staff is stretched too thin. If it doesn't get worse, we'll be fine.

I'll get you up to speed brother:

Schools remain closed; teachers refuse to go back to work.

Racism was eradicated from NASCAR after a driver confused a garage door rope pull for a symbol of hate.

Jizzlane Maxwell of Epstein fame is now in prison; the judge in the case was attacked by a hitman and family was killed.

'Mostly peaceful' protesters in Portland attack the federal courthouse every night, local cops have been told to stand down, and federal officers assigned to protect the federal building are being called Trump's Stormtroopers.

Masks are required everywhere, even outside in 100 degree heat; code enforcement officers patrol the beaches with lengths of rope to verify beach umbrellas are the prescribed distance apart.

There continues to be a failure of leadership at every level of government; the economy is collapsing and the main focus of politicians is renaming **** and tearing down monuments.

There is an expectation of massive layoffs after October 1st; nation is preparing for a massive amount of bankruptcies.

Universities still think kids are gonna take out loans and pay big bucks to take online classes.

Baseball started without fans and first basemen carry hand sanitizer for the runner.

A cold war with China is ramping up; closing consulates in both countries.

The Three Gorges dam in China might collapse and kill 400 million people.

Dr. Fauci the Corona virus guru is on the cover of InStyle Magazine and has received death threats.

And we're all racists and Sully is gonna be removed from the front of the Academic building to teach us a lesson.

That's the high points, welcome back.

You forgot to add that Joe Biden is down in the basement fighting some kind of dementia while he hides from the Ukraine government who want him for questioning

Well, if at least 1 old person was saved it was all worth it. On second thought, I think I might just stay down here for good. I don't want to run into a scary garage door rope. Stay safe.

Forgot to mention:

The Pentagon has admitted to being in possession of 'off world vehicles.'

In entertainment news .. Top Gun 2 has been postponed a year and Joe Rogan is moving to Austin next week.

ICU bed useage is going to stay just under capacity due to pent up demand for critical medical care that wasn't urgent.

Check out this graph:

I think Texas will be at 90% of ICU usage for a long time.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

What's the latest orders put in place in Harris County? I'm not up to date on them.

Houston is one of the biggest if not the biggest hub for medical care. This is scary.

If you get scared half to death, twice...will you die?

Didn't you listen to the Barr hearings yesterday? The only reason they have room in the Houston ICUs is they sent all the COVID patients home to die.
