Nice new format.

Please keep politics out. This should stay our informative only thread for Houston and Dallas hospitalizations and infection counts etc...

81 hospitalizations yesterday out of an area servicing about 7.9 million people.

That's 0.001%.

Really nice presentation with the color coded months and the breakout of the most recent data.

And fewer than 440 currently hospitalized.

I've long felt the TMC data feed was one of the best indicators at least in Texas of where things were headed. I particularly like that they show a 9 county testing feed and a TMC specific graph.

Also like the beds/ICU breakdowns and aggregate with views into capacity vs. occupied beds. Just a really solid, facts based projection of what is going on in one of the biggest metros in the US in one of the if not the largest medical center in the US.

I'm guessing that next year, it will be a similarly shaped graph because of the seasonality of viral infections.

I certainly hope to be wrong.

Why would it be similar? Virus season peaks typically in the winter. If CV19 is over soon the shape should revert to typical flu seasons with Jan/Feb as the peak.

Are there any other large hospital systems or metropolitan areas that produce similar reports? I mean similar in style/presentation/completeness, not necessarily the results.

Doubtful. Lots of evidence of robust immunity from T-cells.

We might still have people testing positive, but the intensity of the infection will be far less.

In the long run, this will become just another endemic cold virus.

Not that I've seen. What makes TMC unique is that its multiple, internationally recognized Hospital systems. You've got a mix of publicly funded, non profit and other systems delivering world class medical outcomes at a large scale.

Typically what I've seen is XYZ Hospital (really a system of hospitals but one system) reporting their numbers. Whereas with TMC its all the member systems.

But it does beg the question of why other systems don't coordinate for one healthcare based data feed on what they are seeing.

Tracking the daily change in the reported total deaths, here is where we stand.
I hoped that we might celebrate a zero day. We did get two days this week with
only one additional reported death.



The Sept 18th spike was reported as a unit within TMC reporting a backlog of unreported deaths.

I'm really glad they started breaking out the backlogged numbers from the recent case numbers. I'd be curious to see that graph with the backlogged numbers attributed to the day of their tests.

With only one death per day, that has to be less than the flu?

I am very excited about the new charts as they tell the story much better across the TMC.

Our facilities are at 15% of the COVID capacity we were at when we peaked in the middle of July. If we discharge how we have been I could see us dipping down to 14% on tonight's census. No real surge from Labor Day though we did kind of plateau for a week. Numbers began to decline again middle of this week around same rate we saw prior to Labor Day.

This is what has been needed for awhile - a good break down of new cases separated from cases reported from an earlier date - you see the spike in mid Sept that made some folks freak out until they found out it was cases from May-Aug that were backlogged.

I wondered this last year, but how much of the current rise in cases is due to the seasonality of viruses?

I'm wondering if this will continue to repeat each July/August and February, or whenever we've seen a regular, seasonal rise before.

People go inside when it's hot and spread it more. Delta is allegedly more contagious as well. I think it's a combination of the 2. The spike should wane by the end of the month.
