What Happens When Hospitals Are Full?

Dispatches from the front lines of Covid-19 care in Texas.  Patients are younger and include pregnant women.  Serious lung damage is showing up in many patients in the 20-40 age range.  In San Antonio, hospital beds for Covid-19 patients are full, with seriously ill patients waiting in line for critical care.



While this is going on, Trump is spouting off that the pandemic is over and the economy is recovering. Unfortunately, reality is much different than Trump's fantasy world.

Because Trump decided masks were unmanly, his ball lickers like Texas Governor Gregg Abbott still haven’t issued a mandatory mask order. Because Trump decided the economy was more important that lives, Texas and other states opened too soon, and now the hospitals are effectively full. (It doesn’t matter if they can stick you in a bed if they can’t fucking treat you.)
