12/21 - TX Hospitalizations by Region

THREAD:

* Analysis of 22 Texas TSA Hospital Regions grouped into 8 regional charts
* The Western part of the state has peaked for now. Will it stay that way? If so, not much of a wave
* Only new TX growth is in Houston

1/n
.
Panhandle and Far West Texas

* Start Date on all Charts is Jun 1
* Census for all four TSAs are in decline, as is change in 7DMA
* El Paso & Amarillo is in strong decline, which mirrors case rates in New Mexico
* Are these areas post peak or another wave coming We'll see

2/n
.
Texas Metro Triangle

* Only Houston showing strong recent growth. HOU can make a big impact to state numbers if it starts to offset the declines in 2/n
* The other three metros are really flat. The RoG charts show wave patterns that could indicate some growth is coming?

3/n
.
TX Remaining areas

* Going West to East & then South
* Again some spread in the West that may have peaked (Abilene)
* Everywhere else is a bag of nothing
* We'll see if spread keeps moving Southeast, but its really flat across the state, hence why State numbers are flat

4/end

12/12 Texas Regional Hospital Analysis

THREAD

As mentioned in the Covid update this morning, I'll present some hospital numbers broken down by TSA Region...

Summary: Most of the spread is confined to the northern and western parts of the state

1/n
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
