More people over the age of 100 have died from Covid than people under the age of 40. Total Covid deaths for those aged 85 and up is 46,128. Total number of deaths for those aged 0-64 is 19,913 with 12,307 of those being between 55 and 64. 97% of all deaths had a serious pre-existing condition or prior/current serious hospitalization. As of yesterday per the CDC, nationwide covid deaths are under 250 for the day. Its over.

my wife was in a serious car wreck yesterday. she spent the night on a stretcher in an exam room because there are no rooms available because of covid. the fact that someone does not die does not mean its not a problem. when your hospitalized due to covid its not outpatient you are there for days if not weeks. the whole reason for the shutdown was to prevent overwhelming our medical system. instead of preparing for opening back up and encouraging people to wear masks our government has been promising it will all just go away. worse than that many prominent figures have been preaching that its all a hoax. as a result I will be picking my wife up after surgery today because they have no room at the inn.

Name the hospital? I know a few people that work in the ER in BG KY....

many times before anyone every heard of this virus, people often spent the night in a ER room till a bed/room was open. When you say stretcher,the hospital she went to must be backwoods or well underfunded. In every hospital Ive ever been in (many) they all had hospital beds in the ER rooms. Those rooms have everything in them that a room after you are admitted.

So lets us all know that hospital, so we can avoid it. In KY there's a total of 60 something I forgot the number I read in a tweet today, in ICU from this virus. That's the whole state.

Your wife would not be going on the floor with people that have this virus. So this virus had zero to do with the wait she had. Not even once a person is moved from the unit. Those people would then be moved to rooms that affect their condition. If the virus caused a stroke. That person would be moved to a floor that deals with strokes. That's the way it is in BG where my brother was moved down.

Just a guess on my part but trauma caused by a wreck isnt common in someone with the coronavirus. Most likely totally different floors

technically it was a gurney. a gurney is a wheeled stretcher used for transporting hospital patient. so sorry i failed to use the official term. and yes hospitals have a shortage of ICU beds because of COVID. Texas Medical Center in Houston reported that 97% of ICU beds are occupied. last month Montgomery hospitals were shipping ICU patients to Birmingham. this is not some made up vast left wing conspiracy. just where to you think all the beds come from when they set up an area in a hospital for Covid patients?

There is a high utilization percentage if your number is factual and I am not disputing, but unless demand goes over 100% for ICU beds there is no shortage, just hysteria.

People keep using the absolute metrics of death vs life. Covid is messing some people up with long term effects after recovering. Not just those who recover after being on ventilators, but others as well. I’d like to see numbers on this stat, but of course it’s not being recorded. There’s so much more to learn about it. Good news is that there are multiple reports that it may be weakening.

The real interesting number is when they compare this time period to the preceding several years time period for total deaths. If the base line 100...and this year is 102 or 150. You can only die once. If it is 102 its a blip, if it is 150, it was not b.s.

It is no longer accurate. Texas Medical Center is now at 100% capacity for ICU beds. TMC is not your average hospital. It calls itself a medical city and employs over 100,000 people and has more than 20 hospitals that sees 10 million patients a year. From mid April through Memorial day Houston positive daily covid test was in the 200's. Last week's average was 962 per day.

but we have it under control. the Trump administration has ended funding for testing. No testing = no positive results = no more Covid.

Dallas federal funding for testing has been continued. I expect that to be the case in all reported hotspots.

The other driver for many cases in the current spike is bars operating at higher than allowed capacity with little or no physical distancing being observed. 17 Texas bars were shut by the TABC for 30 days just before on-site consumption was stopped again. Hopefully the on-site consumption ban for those establishments is being stayed until after the ban is lifted to not be unfair to bars that complied with the capacity limits.
