* Start dates for both years are in the chart titles
* Houston might be percolating from a hospital perspective, they've had a good bump in admits past 2-3 days
* Otherwise, yawn.

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
* Moderate spread in the North, still virtually none in the Southern part of the state
* Widespread immunity?
* Winter 2021 vs 2020 are barely comparable
* Same story, different day
