TX Hospital Bed Capacity - Up Bigly

* 10/11 Bed Capacity - 65,151 (Image 1)
* Highest since June 5
* Up 7,084 beds from last week
* Meanwhile free beds are down 41 WoW (Image 2), meaning 7K more patients than last week.
* Delayed Care / Elective surgery increasing rapidly

10/11 ICU vs General Bed Census

ICU still basically flat with a small rise the past 3 days. Meanwhile General census is up over 300 in the past 8 days alone.

With more electives and delayed care being admitted, all being PCR tested = rise in census numbers.

3/n Image
The State Positivity rate (yellow line) remains in the 6% range and has for the past month. Case arrivals (blue graph )show an uptick commensurate with the increase in testing orange graph.

4/n Image
The Corona Like Illness (CLI) Index shows a slight rise over the past 3-4 weeks. Something to continue watching as we go into flu season. The ILI index shows a similar but perhaps slightly bigger jump than CLI, which is to be expected..

5/n ImageImage
Finally, Harris County's EPI Curve on their dashboard below.

Texas appears in good shape right now. The uptick in hospitalizations is commensurate with a large increase in delayed care and elective surgeries. All metrics look solid a couple of weeks into flu season

10/12 Texas Border Update - THREAD

* Counties that border Mexico, 9% of the population, accounted for almost 27% of TX fatalities between Jun & now
* 7 of Top 23 counties in fatalities are border counties (Orange)
* 5 of Top 12
* Border Deaths per million - crazy high

1/n Image
Here is the breakdown for all the Texas Border counties. At the bottom you'll notice that the Border accounts for 9.01% of Texas' population. Yet for the entire pandemic, the border accounts for 23.41% of the fatalities. This is up half a point from my last report in Sept

2/n Image
For the Entire Pandemic, you can see on this chart that fatalities on the border were running right at population through mid June. July saw a surge that raised the proportion to 24% by the end of August, and has remained there, decreasing slightly in recent weeks

* Fatalities peak on 7/23
* Hospital census has bumped up right along with an increase in Hospital capacity
* 532 Fatalities reported the past 7 days, a rise of 5.7% over last week's 502

THREAD 1/n Image
I broke down the Hospital situation on Saturday morning and will be updating again today. Below. Hospitals appear to be returning to a more "normal" state. Bed inventory has risen quickly. Delayed care/ elective surgery patients on the increase.

10/11 - DOD report for the past 7 days

* 532 Fatalities reported, up from 503 last week
* 81 Dates revised
* 130 from Sept 15 and older

Better but still quite a bit of Death Cert matching going back 2 and 3 months.

Back to Texas this afternoon, if you missed @EthicalSkeptic great analysis of Texas last night, I've included it below. Nice to see my assertions confirmed by the great TES! In this thread I'll do my usual breakdown of Hospitalizations vs fatalities, both DoD and DoR.

*** There is Nothing New Under the Sun ***

Viewing the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic through the lens of “American Pandemic, The Lost Worlds of the 1918 Influenza Epidemic” by Nancy K Bristow

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again" Ecc 1:9

THREAD 1/n
2/n

“American Pandemic” is a history of those that lived & died in the Pandemic, w/ heavy focus on the rise of public health establishments

While there are differences between the 2 pandemics, there are striking similarities - hotbuttons like Masks, Lockdowns, Schools, etc

** We will start with Two Striking Differences **

* Striking Difference 1 - Fatalities (click image below)

(I will release 1-2 new tweets per day, with hopes to eventually turn this into a longform article. This may end up being about a 10-12 Tweet thread)
