    Here is the dashboard:

    Fired scientist Rebekah Jones builds coronavirus dashboard to rival Florida’s


    Florida's former top coronavirus data scientist has launched a website showing far more COVID-19 information than she said the state allowed her to report as an employee, including statistics contradicting Florida's official coronavirus numbers and the push to reopen the state.

    ...

    The information her dashboard reports comes from publicly available state data, much of which is not reported front and center on state websites, but buried in thousand-page reports or scattered PDF files. It includes hard-to-find hospital capacity information provided by another state agency, the Agency for Health Care Administration.

    The same type of information suppression is ongoing in our own state agencies as well...

    My niece was one of the cadets graduating today. She's been wanting this ever since she was a little girl when she first learned about West Point from her father.

According to Texas DSHS, the state has more than 55,000 hospital beds, with more than 14,000 available and more than 1,500 ICU beds available.

    Texas Sets a New Record for Coronavirus Hospitalizations as Businesses Continue to Reopen
    Newsweek

    Hospitalizations for COVID-19 reached a new high in Texas on Saturday, after the state set and surpassed record patient admission numbers throughout last week. Texas DSHS confirmed 2,242 people were hospitalized with the respiratory illness on Saturday afternoon, an increase from 2,166 people hospitalized on Friday. Texas health officials also reported a sizable jump in new virus cases on Saturday, with 2,331 confirmed diagnoses.

    With coronavirus cases climbing, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says 'no real need' to scale back business reopenings
    Texas Tribune

    On Saturday, the state broke another record and reported 2,242 hospitalized patients. The seven-day average of new daily confirmed cases of the virus also continues to climb. It reached an all-time high of 1,724 on Friday. Asked about positive test numbers Friday, Abbott said he’s “concerned, but not alarmed.” He noted that testing has gone up across the state.

    Austin Area COVID-19 Hospitalizations Hit One-Day Record, Seven-Day Average Now Tops 20
    KUT News

    A record of 30 new COVID-19 hospital admissions was reported in the Austin area Sunday evening. The seven-day moving average of new admissions increased to 20.6. Austin Public Health has been warning that the average needs to remain below 20, otherwise the area will move into stage 4 of APH’s COVID-19 risk-based guidelines and more restrictions will be necessary to slow the spread of the disease and prevent hospitals from becoming overwhelmed.

    Texas Calls In A Strike Force To Try To Slow Coronavirus Spread In Nursing Homes
    NPR

    In Texas, 47% of the state's nearly 1,900 COVID-19 deaths have been tied to skilled nursing and assisted-living facilities. Last week, HHSC announced that — in light of continuing serious problems with coronavirus in nursing homes — it has created Special Infection Control Assessment teams. They will visit troubled facilities throughout the state to review their practices and provide immediate guidance in an attempt to prevent further outbreaks of COVID-19.

    Texas Has Shifted to an “It’s Your Responsibility” Pandemic Plan
    Texas Monthly

    As the state moves into a new phase of the pandemic, with cases on the rise, focus has shifted away from mandatory public safety measures and toward placing the responsibility for slowing the spread of the disease in the hands of each individual Texan. In Austin, public health experts point not just to the state’s reopening policy as a reason for the rise in infections, but also to residents relaxing social distancing and mask-wearing.

    He's just as bad as Trump with his misinformation to the idiots who don't have enough sense to fact check these remarks. It's all about making it look like we have nothing to worry about, we're doing great, and they are making America great again.

    Meanwhile people all around the country are so angry and frustrated that they are gathering in masses to protest change. We are not a lot of happy people living the American Dream. It's more like a minority of rich, corrupt, hate stirring politicians doing all they can to ensure they keep getting richer, while keeping their middle class and poor followers believing that the minorities are despicable dangerous looters and killers.

    Most serial killers and home grown terrorists in our country are white men. Then you have the KKK. Ignorance breeds ignorance, and their fears are put in their heads from a very young age. Their hatred stems from ignorance and Trump feeds off of that.
