1164 New COVID19 Cases…
The new COVID19 cases may be the tip of the iceberg. In Houston, the busiest hospitals are increasingly telling emergency responders they cannot safely accept new patients as hundreds of coronavirus patients crowd emergency rooms, and hospitals scramble to open more intensive care space.
Houston hospitals have been forced to treat hundreds of COVID-19 patients in their emergency rooms — sometimes for several hours or multiple days — as they scramble to open additional intensive care beds for the wave of seriously ill people streaming through their doors. The increase in ambulance diversions, coupled with the spike in patients being held indefinitely in emergency rooms, are the latest indicators that Houston hospitals are straining to keep up with a surge of new coronavirus patients.
Last week, ProPublica reported that Houston hospitals were running out of COVDI!9 treatment medications. Locally, there are two similar unconfirmed reports from separate medical systems.
