From today’s TX report on hospitalizations. Before a couple weeks ago, if a region had 15%+ COVID hospitalizations, it triggered potential increased mitigation. @GregAbbott_TX revoked that.
If I count right, we went from 0 to 10 of 22 regions with 15%+ due to COVID.

I’ve heard of a report of a PICU patient being transferred from Houston-area to L because of lack of PICU space. Not sure if that was a special case or what.
Short-term, I think it means we might see a lot of long-road trips for some COVID patients. Long-term, ¯(ツ)/¯
