Broke 10k hospitalized. 2k a month ago.
Yes, hospitalizations lag new cases. Hopefully the improvements in new cases will translate to stabilizing the hospitals soon.PJYoung said:BiochemAg97 said:Not all bad news. New cases appear to have leveled off and positivity rate came down before leveling off. Still a ways to go, but Houston seems to be doing better than DFW where new cases is still growing.Tabasco said:
Not looking great for Houston.

You have to remember that the positive tests the media keeps pushing includes people retesting to see if still positive. We are seeing a plateau in the number of new cases which means this week we should see the same in admissions for Houston area hospitals. The hospital I work in believes we should see our peak in hospitalizations middle of this week at the latest in Houston. This all hangs in whether people socially distanced during the July 4th holiday.

Wait, you mean people can think for themselves and don't have to wait for the govt to tell them what to do?dragmagpuff said:Based on metrics of:Bert315 said:terradactylexpress said:

- Apple/Google Maps requests
- Opentable reservation requests
Texas was already increasing their social distancing once the hospitals got out there and started saying things like "Please stop being idiots", and "Please wear a mask" so we don't get overwhelmed. This was before the governor's executive orders to close bars and mandate masks.
True. If you look at the individual States that have had a spike in cases, this virus seems to have a predictable pattern. The spike seems to last approximately 4-5 weeks before peaking. New York started in early March and peaked in early April. Arizona started in early June and seems to have peaked last week. Texas started in mid June and will probably peak soon if not already. Florida started in late June and will probably peak next week or the week after. Rinse, repeat.Quote:

Won't be for long. They have already been asking to move RGV COVID cases up to Austin. Guess They sent all they could to SA already.Aust Ag said:
Austin hospitalizations flattening?
Well, hopefully that "backstory" will be reported in the news. If this happens, Austin deaths will also spike, correct?BiochemAg97 said:Won't be for long. They have already been asking to move RGV COVID cases up to Austin. Guess They sent all they could to SA already.Aust Ag said:
