Census & Rates of growth for Panhandle and Far West TX.
AMA is ahead of LBB. ELP is ahead of MAF. 1 of 2 things happening:
1) Spread is moving South & East. Or 2) AMA & ELP both saw much smaller Summer 2021 waves than LBB & MAF. An immunity question opposed to geography
2/n .
Looking at the Big Metros on the East and South sides, there is little growth right now. DFW & SAT generally single digit growth, AUS showing some in recent days, HOU still negative growth.
These cities are the big drivers of hosp numbers so we will need to be watchin
3/n .
Looking at the other 4 regions, there is some slight growth in West Texas, very little in Central, and absolutely nothing in the far South or far East.
Spread could be heading South and East, but it is sure is coming in late in the season. Will continue to watch
4/end
