Just the News: In Texas, focal point of national anxiety about a coronavirus ‘second wave,’ the state counts every COVID-positive hospital patient as a hospitalization for COVID itself, which may be exaggerating numbers.
Health officials in Texas are logging every single COVID-19-positive hospital patient in the state as a COVID-19 hospitalization, even if the patients themselves are admitted seeking treatment for something other than the coronavirus.
That policy may be serving to artificially inflate what ostensibly seems like a significant COVID-19 surge in the state. Texas has lately been the focal point of national anxiety over concerns that a “second wave” of the coronavirus has begun there after the state began reopening nearly two months ago.
COVID-19 hospitalizations there have been on a steady upward track for about the last two weeks, per the state’s coronavirus dashboard, which on Thursday recorded about 4,400 coronavirus hospitalizations in the state. But at least part of that trend may be due to liberal coding policies by state officials. read more
They are making every effort to make things look as if it’s coming back.
Why is Abbott giving in to this garbage? I know why Newsom is.
It’s only that way in population centers – rural TX is living the life, except WM is STILL out of Sam’s Club 100% Angus beef burgers…
Covid is a politically opportunistic infection, used by complete idiots like Rubio and Fauci. Neither has any idea what they’re talking about.
I’ve got a friend in Frisco, right outside of Dallas, who says their hospitals are practically empty.
This policy “may” be inflating the number? Really?
Cuomo sends the virus into nursing homes and kills grandma, and if you question him about it, he’ll tell you to get screwed.
A con game is going on in Tx, and Abbot is so scared the hoaxers will say he has blood on his hands that he rolls out the red carpet for the con men.
They just shut down Alcohol Sales at Bars in all of Florida again.
The Pro Virus Flu’zies are ecstatic.
What Abbott did today is the final nail in the coffin of killing the economy here again. After he allowed dem leaders to impose mask fines on businesses last week our dem judge immediately pounced. We had been going out to a local brewery every weekend, they had live music, life was back to normal and last weekend they had no music, a mask policy where you couldn’t take it off unless at your table and had to put it on to move around and no one was in the bar. The mask crap had already thinned out the restaurant and bar patrons. Liberals are cheering and gloating here big time. And I’ve got news for Abbott, 2 caves in a week – they aren’t going to stop making demands and they aren’t going to lift these restrictions without a huge fight. I have let Abbott’s office know he lost my support along with a lot of other Texans so now he is catering to the lefties. Brilliant strategy.
Eventually, people will just start looking around them and believe what they really see instead of what they are told to see.
Eventually.
Abbott is a RINO in the style of a Bush.
“Misinterpreted” must be a new word for lie. Abbott is trying to appease the leftists so he is pushing Texas backwards instead of continued reopening. We are not happy.
They are padding the Kung Flu numbers here in Arizona too. The Garrett Lewis show I listen to in the morning, really does a good job disproving all the garbage the media dishes out.
They are now counting the illegals in this mess, which is another reason why all the border cities are seeing an uptick in cases.
