I'm A+ and had zero symptoms whatsoever, so ....



It's a total crapshoot. I'm considering myself super lucky that
1. I caught it when I did. If I didn't have that random test, my wife and I would have been contagious at our family Christmas with my parents, my pregnant sister in-law, and her 85 year old grandmother.
2. I had no symptoms.

I'm also A and had very minor symptoms. I think my son is also A, and he didn't catch it from me.

Agree...not sure how the blood type factors in. From what I've seen (anecdotally) a ton of it is due to stuff like diabetes and general health....it's knocking down a lot of people who weren't healthy to begin with. Not that I wish that on anyone.

I read that Facebook post, and clotting factors makes sense. And I guess some blood types may clot easier than others. But even the post says that being one blood type or another doesn't make you more or less likely to get sick.

Seems like it's much more complicated than just blood type.

But what causes an otherwise healthy person to contract sudden onset diabetes? Or a young, healthy person to get cancer?

Trauma Service Area R (greater Houston area) hit the 15% threshold of COVID Hospitalizations out of Total Hospital Capacity for the first time today. If we continue above the 15% threshold for the next 6 days (likely), bars close again per Abbott's orders.

So Abbott is blaming bars for uncontrollable seasonal trends of a respiratory virus.

And while it's going up...not to where we were back in the summer so seems your family member may not be 100% accurate (shocker)

Pretty significant jump in the statewide hospitalization stats today. Probably partly due to catching up from Christmas non-reporting but still a decent jump up.

I'm in Dallas area for the holidays and hospital status up here is no bueno.

You heard that info from someone and you are using that to spread fear. It's a lie. I am sitting in a room at St Luke's right now that I got admitted into this afternoon. How'd that happen? Pathetic.

Probably not transferring to reduce possible spread (or any other reason really) but doubt it's related to capacity issues.

I'm saying that while they may not accept transfers, it is not due solely to Covid / capacity issues as we have been higher during the summer spike and never reached full hospital capacity, which the chart clearly shows

I'm sure your family member is accurate to some degree, but not to the finality that you made it seem in your post

Let's take anecdotal evidence out and look at, you know, the horse's mouth.

ICU is 98% occupied, of which, 25% are Covid.

That grey bar? You see that little guy, that's surge capacity.

I'm just posting to get us closer to the next page, an odd numbered page, so that Cone will post there as a COVID-doubting, freedom loving SOB.

Agreed, I'd try to avoid hospitals at all costs and I'm glad my wife gave birth in November before it started to get bad again

We had our first this month and the hospital was a ghost town. I didn't notice anyone else when we were in labor and delivery. I think 3 of the like 10 rooms in our wing for recovery were occupied. It did suck ass not being able to have food delivered and eating hospital cafeteria food for 3+ days, though

I went to the ER two weeks ago. The nurse was complaining that I wasn't sick enough to make him stay, so he was about to be sent home early for the second night in a row. Large Memorial Hermann hospital on a Saturday night. Not a **** show in the slightest.

aren't the bars all now restaurants so they can just stay open? all the bars around me starting selling food or getting food trucks so they are currently operating at a super high capacity. I didn't realize there were any "bars" left that were 51% alcohol.
