OMG !
My cousin in Texas. Her granddaughter is a nurse in Austin Texas. I don't know what hospital. They were told yesterday they cannot wear scrubs have ID showing coming into the building, change after getting there, and change out before leaving. If come in or go out at night you must go with security. They were given a number to call if they come in after dark.
Apparently enough workers have been threatened over the shortage of bed space and resources that there is fear something bad will happen.
These people won't vax. They won't mask. When they get sick they run for the hospital and when there is not enough staff, beds, and other resources to put them at the front of the line they start threatening the very people they want help from?
My God ...
In Austin? Really?! You couldn’t do better than AUSTIN?! :lmao:

Ummmm, OK. Here's a webpage with data about hospital bed usage in Texas, https://covid-texas.csullender.com (last updated 8/14, when I viewed it). If you go about 3/4 of the way down the page:
* 88% of Texas hospital beds are being used; but only 19% are used by Covid patients;
* 96% of ICU beds are being used; but only 37% are being used by Covid patients.
Here's the page for Austin, https://covid-texas.csullender.com/?tsa=O :
* 89% of Texas hospital beds are being used; but only 17% are used by Covid patients;
* 99% of ICU beds are being used; 46% are being used by Covid patients.
Based on the daily new cases graph here, https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/texas/ , it looks like new cases have peaked, at about 2/3 of the peak during the winter surge. The daily deaths graph will probably peak 2-3 weeks later, but at present, daily deaths are less than 1/3 of the winter surge peak.
Based on those data, I think that either KentuckyWoman's :bouncy: is fiction, or some hospital admin is doing political theater. The idea that a someone would drive to a hospital at shift change time or would leave a sick family member sitting in a car just to yell at nurses is preposterous. I'm inclined to think KentuckyWoman is the liar in this :bouncy: , but either way, a Prog lied.
None of the data above is difficult to find, but did any DUpipo think to fact-check the fact-claims underlying KentuckyWoman's :bouncy: ?
