4 Days In A Row—Texas Sets Coronavirus Hospitalization Record Yet Again

Hospitalizations in the state have increased almost every day since Memorial Day, when large crowds gathered at popular vacation spots as health experts warned those gatherings could lead to a resurgence in the virus.

In the 21 days since Memorial Day, 17 of those days had higher hospitalization counts compared with the day before. Case counts and the percentage of tests coming back positive also spiked over the past week, with the 7-day average for positive tests staying over 6%—a threshold health officials there say the state should remain below—since June 2.; the state’s reported at least 2,000 new cases over the past five days after not having a single day hit that number before last Wednesday.KEY BACKGROUND

But despite the data trending in the wrong direction, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has shown no signs of pumping the brakes on the state’s aggressive reopening efforts, which has been among the fastest in the country. Texas is now in Phase 3 of its reopening, and restaurants were allowed to reopen at 75% capacity over the weekend. Abbott had said in the past rising hospitalizations and tests coming back positive could impact the state’s reopening plans.

That hasn’t eased concerns in some areas, like Houston, where officials are looking to potentially refit“I’m growing increasingly concerned that we may be approaching the precipice of a disaster,” Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said Thursday.
