HOUSTON – Most big Texas cities no longer have their COVID-19 threat levels pegged on red (highest) alert. Dallas is in orange, Austin is in yellow and San Antonio is in green. But Houston is still stuck in the red. We have been in the “stay home” alert for more than 3 months now. We wanted to know if the numbers are looking better, why are we still in the red zone?
The alert levels are up to Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, even though she admits that the “numbers are undoubtedly getting better, positivity, hospitalizations, they’re looking a lot better.”
quote:
We asked a Baylor College of Medicine doctor to examine our current situation.
“We’ve seen case rates come down,” said Dr. James McDeavitt, Senior Vice President and Dean of Clinical Affairs at Baylor College of Medicine. “The hospitals are nowhere close to being in trouble. Daily numbers have improved and the test rates are better.”
quote:
What does Hidalgo say about the red alert? She points to our positivity rate as the problem.
“We’re evaluating to see if there is any reason to ignore the parameter that still remains which is positivity,” she explained.
The latest positivity number is 6.7% according to Harris County’s graph. Hidalgo says it needs to be at 5% to move to orange. But the day the system was unveiled, June 11, we were at 13.2% and the county stayed in orange all the way until the positivity rate spiked to 19.5% — almost three times the positivity rate than we now have now.
We designed the system so that we would come out of red better than when we went into it,” Hidalgo explained.
“If I were advising the county, I would say it probably is time to reduce that threat level, cause mostly everything is moving in the right direction,” said Dr. McDeavitt.
Instead, this week Hidalgo addressed the issue and doubled down.
She’s sticking with Red = Stay Home.

Dora is enjoying the attention. When the threat levels drop, she will no longer get her air time.

No one listens to her anymore. Other than HISD.
Schools are back and we're not all getting infected or spiking the hospitalizations. It isn't done in Houston but we're past the worst of it.

I hate those "Threat Level" maps. If you live in a county with a smaller population, 25 new positives can completely dick you. My county went from green to red over less than 50 cases in a week.

Except Houston doesn’t GAF what this 27 year old with a sociology degree ha to say. Traffic and everything but schools, bars, and restaurants seem back to normal and have been for quite a while.
I’ll DM you my Harris County address Lina, you won’t do shite

One of The Woodlands area football games was cancelled due to an outbreak in Bryan/College Station. Politicians are getting revved up for fall cancellations.

Pretty true, my customers are way more welcoming. I’ve been slammed with in person meetings the past 3 weeks.
I’d say it’s 50/50 if places have masks and what not

I died when I saw poison girl was open. About as liberal of a crowd as you can get, they bought a shite pizza maker and opened the doors.

Yep. The moving of the goalposts throughout this thing would be comical if it weren't hurting so many people. Instead it just highlights the hypocrisy of these people and shows how drunk they are on the power they have.
It's a damn shame and I don't understand why so many people are STILL just rolling with it and not rebelling against some of this nonsense.

Threat level is meaningless bullshite dreamed up by a 29 year old who is bought and paid for by outsiders.
Nobody in Harris County gives 2 shits about what she says. She's a child.
