.@GovAbbott decides to go back to authoritarian policies that lack evidence. This is a rando list of “things young people do that look scary”. He is throwing anything at the wall with the hope the media will leave him alone. This is about press, not health
texastribune.org/2020/06/26/tex…
The hallmarks of hysteria are there: a focus on the outdoors (continues to be bazaar), not measuring the impact of his other orders, ignoring hospitals around the state that want to continue electives, and ignoring the stratified risk by age. Opposite of segment and shield.
Abbott getting ratio’d. Enjoy the comments. The restrictions will probably increase because it isn’t about evidence based policy making.

1/ “We saw just a rash of people that came in for relatively treatable conditions that had just waited to the point that it deteriorated. That’s kind of added to the ICU stress on top of just having the COVID patients.” Dr. Robert Hancock, Texas College of Emergency Physicians
2/ “To be clear, in Houston, the percentage of beds occupied by COVID patients is currently 12.9%. In Austin, the percentage of beds occupied by COVID patients is 10.2%,” Carrie Williams, Texas Hospital Association.
3/ "By late April, when there were less than half the hospitalized patients as there are now, Abbott allowed hospitals to resume elective procedures as long as 15% of beds were reserved for coronavirus patients."

1/ What is going on in Texas?

Here is a paper from the UK healthcare system that gives us a clue.

They found a 2% infection based on PCR (23/1152), but only 1 with positive viral culture. These "positives" are artifact infections, not infectious.

medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
2/ If admission requires a PCR, are these admissions "with COVID" or "from COVID"?

"Based upon the interpretation of symptom history and testing results including viral culture, the majority of those testing positive were unlikely to be infectious at time of sampling."
3/ New admissions are younger and don't require ICU beds (June 11). This suggests a variability in infected population we haven't seen before.
