Dr. Marc Boom, the President and CEO OF Houston Methodist, says the number of patients admitted with COVID-19 has been dropping for about 10 days.
"We're on a nice downward trend, and we're very optimistic about where that goes," said Dr. Boom.
He says the hospital peaked at 213 patients overall, with approximately 99 people in intensive care.
Thursday morning, the number of patients was down 25% from the peak. The numbers are down even more in the ICU.

And having NJ and NY opening before us...Literally the "epicenter(s)" in the US.Big Cat `93 said:
I love that they have us opening a couple of weeks after Louisiana. Lulz.
I think the maker of that map is racist and hates the brown people in Texas.IrishTxAggie said:And having NJ and NY opening before us...Literally the "epicenter(s)" in the US.Big Cat `93 said:

Now do our rank on # of deaths by % of country population!!cajunaggie08 said:
i'm gonna guess those dates are based on a formula that accounts for the amount of testing that has occurred relative to a state's population. Texas ranks 49th for the percentage of residents tested.

separate topic
but you want the expanded testing to help break the paranoia that's holding back demand
you might find that irrational but it still exists and has a vote over the velocity of money
we rank 10th if 1st is the state with the least deaths per capita. I'm not saying it isnt a flawed formula in that graphic. Thats just the only way i could see how texas's date is after louisiana and new york.IrishTxAggie said:Now do our rank on # of deaths by % of country population!!cajunaggie08 said:

I'd be surprised if this whole experience didn't result in the same on a more permanent basis, for a lot of people and companies. I started a company with my partners in 2012 and it's either WFH or "on site". It doesn't work for everyone, but can work for a lot more than do it now.gougler08 said:
I work for a major O&G and they're saying we probably WFH all of May at this point, just to be on the safe side. I take that to mean we're functioning fine as a company if not better
Agreed...I think the biggest blocker in my company is management wanting butts in seats, but now they're seeing that generally the same amount (or more) gets done as WFHJ.D. c/o 05 said:I'd be surprised if this whole experience didn't result in the same on a more permanent basis, for a lot of people and companies.

No doubt some companies will extend it (ours implemented it sort of like a 9/80 type thing after we showed how effective we could be after Harvey), but others won't. Those that do not will have the chicken littles who will be freaking out about going back. That's who I am talking about. My mom had to deal with a medical worker at her hospital that thought she came in contact with a COVID infected person, so she was sent home to quarantine for 2 weeks. After that 2 weeks was up, she was expected to be back at work...healthcare worker and all, and she threw a fit and literally cried in front of my mom about how scared she was.Engine10 said:Quote:

I'm not so sure about this angle. We're (10k+ company) actually talking about extending/formalizing our WFH program for certain groups. Plenty have proven capable or even been more efficient with their workload, and we have the tools and infra setup now to make it all happen.
