“We’ve gone from having 70 new cases a day to almost 600 new cases a day. Right now in our hospitals, we have 477 people admitted to the hospital with COVID-19,” Dr. Desmar Walkes, Austin-Travis County Health Authority said during this week’s town hall. “And 161 of them are in ICU. One hundred people on ventilators. So, we’ve come to a serious time in our community… almost all of the people who are in the hospital right now are unfortunately unvaccinated.””

Your response is just made up garbage lacking substance

Thank you for proving you don't have any understanding of even the most basic health care fundamentals. As if someone needs to go to a doctor to understand obesity is harmful.

Texas governor outlawed mask mandates in Texas 3 months ago. Cities and counties and school districts cannot mandate masks within their jurisdictions.

I can only assume you're being obtuse at this point. I asked for sources and corrected you on surgical vs N95 masks. You did not reply back to the 30 foot rule you claimed, so I asked again (below)

You answered but also asked a question

I can only assume that you did not want me to answer your question...so maybe you shouldn't have asked it?

After all that, we have no idea how much of the ICU problem is duie to Covid cases. You didn't tell us the percentage of ICU beds that are occupied by Covid patient, nor did you give us the percentage at other times of the pandemic to put it in perspective. Without more info, everything you said is perfectly meaningless.

I did supply the link along with what you quoted.
Did you open it or would that have been too much work?

Why would anyone need to ask was my point. That wind or inside air movement is something that we are obviously aware of.

In Texas, an 11 month-old baby with seizures due to COVID is on life support and had to be airlifted 150 miles away to Temple because Police cars revolving light. No Pediatric Hospitals in Houston had ICU Beds to accept her as a transfer patient.

From ABC-Houston

This would very likely NEVER have happened if people didn't get sucked into paranoid fantasies about vaccinations containing trackers, or magnetized the skin (see Ohio State Legislative hearing), or believe that the vaccines cause sterility (any accusations appealing to sex or something related to it, INSTANT "be skeptical about this" for me). Just to name two things about the no-vaxxer nonsense.
Ummmm.....................

It's due to the flood of unvaccinated illegals Biden is letting in.
