Haven't you heard? Clay is an evil, power hungry, dictator trying to exert his dominance of Texas from the county level

I'm going to assume that those projections are coming from the team of doctors at DCHHS and other medical professionals in Dallas. Dr. Huang has been present at most of the press conferences if I remember correctly.

Those graphs in the tweet above are for COVID-19 patient census (total patient, ICU patient, ventilator patient, and med-surg patient) at local hospitals per day, not total cases in the general population.

Much to some of y'all's disappointment, Clay Jenkins isn't just making up numbers and having his children draw pretty graphs.
OK where is Dr. Huang getting his numbers from?

Jenkins even says in the tweet:

nothing done vs. strong mitigation. Our region could reach the peak of the curve in late April/early May
The 'do nothing' models are a complete sham because humans are incapable of 'doing nothing' in response to threats to our lives. These medical experts must never have taken a course in social science or ethics.

I understand who is giving him the info, but what 'evidence and science' is he referring to?

It has been my belief that the 'do nothing' model is based on officials doing nothing (thus schools, all businesses, entertainment venues, etc. stay open) and not necessarily the general population doing nothing.

The UWashington model, which is criticized for being too conservative (e.g. saying too many people will be sick/die) has Texas's peak on April 22nd, with appx 685 ICU beds needed. Clay's graph is saying Dallas County will need almost half of them.

Just doesn't add up. And considering the Clay started off with 500k dead Texans, I'm significantly more skeptical of his models.

These are probably better numbers to watch given how little testing is still happening

Agree 100%.

Look at the drop in ventilator usage. I just don't see how we peak in May given this history. Where do the new cases come from? The incubation period isn't 30-45 days.

Visuals are always better. Also, 107 new confirmed cases in Dallas county. I know the testing numbers are low, but we've been averaging 100 or so new cases for two weeks.

Do we know how many of those beds are Covid 19? Do we know how many are hospitalized currently with Covid 19? Not looking for an argument. Just curious.

Part of me feels it's even less due to COVID-19. They are going to use any reason to boost # of cases to receive increased funds and not look like like idiots.

No, you shut things down so that you have only 142 ICU admissions...

I think the better response is that we are doing a great job because we shut all this down as a preventive measure

I don't know. I went to Hime Depot yesterday and it was packed. Wal-Mart has stayed packed and I passed Whiskey Cake that had a line of cars waiting to pick up food.

I suspect that was all the Hispanics who said f* it or never got the news that the parks were closed. I lived by White Rock for many years and they absolutely owned White Rock on Easter Weekend.

I know. If I didn't like him politically then he would've been forced to resign by now. He's done this several times since he shut down the county. I can't believe he has the balls to let them park in his driveway. I'd make them park down the street.

How many people are there? 10 people and less is what most counties are suggesting.

Why does it matter what his politics are? Make the identity of this hypocritical jackass known.
