    So total Texas hospitalizations are doubling about every 2 weeks

    Over that 2 week period here are the biggest hospitalization increases
    • Houston up 108% from 622 to 1293
    • DFW up 63% from 660 to 1074
    • San Antonio up 321% from 119 t o 501
    • Lower RGV up 331% from 65 to 280
    • Austin up 172% from 90 to 245
    Total hospitalizations were up 2036 and those 5 areas represent 1837 of that total.


    Total positive cases are doubling about every 3.5 weeks and total active cases are doubling about every 5 weeks.

    Testing isn't a good metric. But I'm tired of talking to liberal children.

    Maybe smart politically but deadly to health and economy.

    I find it funny that him dictating and not allowing local officials flexibility to enforce masking and lockdown = needs to be flexible.

    On the masking, he didn’t want to require people to wear it, but he’s all for requiring of business to require it of the people. It’s political cowardice - basically asking someone else’s to require it so you don’t have to require it and upset some lovely entitled people.

    Inside the loop, at a place like WF, they REQUIRE masks and NOBODY complains. You go to an HEB in the Woodlands and it's GAME OVER.

    I'm out here picking up to-go & bake meals STRAIGHT from Underbelly. Yall standing ass-to-ass in line for Rudy's like teens trying to get into a KPOP concert.

    PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan will address the media today at 2 pm ET.

    Seven states are reporting new highs for current coronavirus hospitalizations, according to data tracked by The Washington Post — Arizona, Arkansas, California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas — as the number of infections continues to climb across the South and West. More than 800 covid-19 deaths were reported in the United States on Tuesday, the first time fatalities have increased since June 7.

    I want my next check. And, I want it doubled cause the last one wasn't enough and it took too long to get the second check.

    New York was THAT bad.

    Hopefully Texas doesn't become the next epicenter. We have some different factors going our way but also against our way at this point.

    Not even thinking about it. I've gained 10 pounds since this pandemic, since I've been busy figuring out what I need to do for my career (Just got accepted to UT MBA in Houston!). But, just started doing yoga and jump roping at home and will probably stick with this until **** dies down in Houston.

    I don't fear getting sick, but I'm worried that I'll spread to too many people without knowing if I do get COVID-19.

    It's the McCombs working professional program in Houston, brah! Wouldn't want to just go to UH. ;) We probably just offended half of the members on this board.
