Wheels is such a cuck.

Some of this falls on trump though, he needed to pull the useless GOP govs together and force them to toe the line. Wheels just rolled on over to Antifa

We've been worried about the "trajectory" for months. We shut down to "flatten the curve" which never came close to spiking to out of control levels.

We increased testing exponentially because "we have to know who all the sick people are" and lo and behold the positive cases are up and the death rate is declining.

This whole thing is such a farce it's sickening. If the same care and attention were given to H1N1, Avian Flu, etc., We would have had much more cases and deaths of those strains. Are we going to shut the country down yearly in the spring?

This is such a sick thing being perpetrated on the country and this world. Solely for globalists to regain power.

I don’t think this guy knows what he’s looking at.

How is the trajectory going down if the COVID ICU population is up 200% in a month? They want to keep COVID patients to 15% or less of the ICU. It is north of 45% now.

Based on his entire tweets related to this specific tweet? Did you read his thread?

Please clarify - are you claiming the doctors at Houston Methodist are not to be believed because you say they are power hungry globalists perpetrating lies?

I’m with you. The increase in ICU COVID patients does not lie.

I'm not sure why increasing cases with decreasing hospitalizations is not being reported as a very good thing.

The president himself is retweeting the same sorts of messages this morning. We're in bad shape.

Trump should be a leader and let everyone know this virus could be around for years and we have to deal with it. Pretending it’s a hoax or we can hide for two weeks from it are both incredibly stupid.

If someone goes into the ICU for an unrelated issue, is tested for COVID and positive, is that a COVID ICU patient?

If they are ICU for something completely different, and are asymptomaic, then I don’t believe they are supposed to be counted for that. I will admit I’m not 100 percent sure.

There isn’t an ICU in the country operating anywhere near Max capacity.

If they’re Covid positive, they’re a Covid patient, regardless of the reason for admission.

First graph (July 11) shows - 1,368
Second graph (June 15) shows - 1,373

Third graph (once you scroll down) - shows 17,379 total general beds available and Harris is half way. It's been up and down at a steady rate for a month.

Not to be sarcastic but what am I seeing that's wrong?

Thanks. I thought I read something different, but as I said I wasn’t sure.

I think his graphics mix different metrics.

According to the Setrac Power BI tracker, on June 11, there were 349 ICU patients with Covid in Harris County. As of July 11, there were around 1,000. 1,027 for July 12th.

I’m not saying panic. This is still well within Harris county’s ICU capabilities. But it has not gone down yet.

I think we are talking about 2 different things then.

He's (the way I read it) was talking about total hospital icu beds (including covid).

You can see from graph 1 and 2 that the total icu beds have gone down.

I agree with you that covid icu patients rose from a month ago.

Shut it down wheels, we're all gonna die if you don't.

He made a threat Friday against the citizens of Texas.

Rioters can do as they please.

Go ahead, I dare you. It didn't work the first time and it won't a second time. Remember the 15 day to flatten the curve?

What do you try next? Weld citizens into their apartments, call in Fort Hood to roam the streets to keep people in their homes?

Some times, you have to deal with things like a man.

You have failed.
