" During a City Council meeting Wednesday morning, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said 97 percent of the city's ICU beds were filled. A report from the Texas Medical Center (TMC) said 27 percent of those beds were occupied by COVID-19 patients.
According to data published earlier this week by the TMC, a network of health care and research institutions based in Houston, 90 percent of the city's ICU beds were filled as of Monday. Virus patients accounted for more than one-quarter of those occupancies."
So, first off, Turner is an idiot and actively lies to make political points. This is well known so you repeating him shows you either are uninformed or you are falling into the same thing. Either way, I can make statistics up to make anything look good.
Just from those numbers, there's a lot of missing info and a lot of misleading info at that. So first off, ICU beds are 97% full and 27% are covid, but what is the percentage of those that are in for covid complications versus the number that were in for other things and simply tested positive for covid? I bet you don't know. I can't find it anywhere because, again, Turner manipulates facts for his own agenda. Or he just lies. If you want, ask Houston PD and Houston FD about that. They probably have a few words for you.
Regardless, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Chill out. Actually, ignore all I said. Keep fear mongering. I'm making a lot of money. And pardon me while I go sell some more guns.
