Numbers don't reflect it, but hospitals are starting to get overloaded.
My mom is currently at MD Anderson in the med center. Most treatments have been put on hold as doctors are weighing the risks of treatment vs. the side effects of weakened immune systems. My mom is an exception as they think what will happen if she stops chemo is her biggest risk. On top of that, they just announced that all treatment will now have to be done at MD Anderson Katy. They are turning their med center location into a home base of sorts for COVID-19. We aren't sure if it's just for cancer patients with it, all people and they need more beds, what.
The scariest thing for us is she still has to go to the med center location a couple times a week. She can do her normal chemo in Katy but for one of her treatments, MD Anderson med center is the only hospital in the world that does it.
She also hasn't been able to sleep because she's scared of the new no visitor rule. She pretty much told me she's terrified she gets sick, falls, whatever, then will be isolated from us and have to be completely alone.
It's a scary and crazy time. I'm not a Hidalgo or Turner fan. But these orders aren't coming from them, they're just the puppets.
