El Paso sees 200 percent rise in Covid-19 hospitalizations; people urged to stay home 2 weeks

In El Paso, a border city with a population of more than 680,000, the number of hospitalizations recorded in the last three weeks jumped from 259 to 786, according to the city's director of public health, Angela Mora.

In a statement, Mora warned that local health services and hospitals will remain strained for people suffering non-coronavirus emergencies like heart attacks, strokes and car accidents. "If we continue on this trend, we risk detrimental effects to our entire health care system," Mora said."For the sake of those hospitalized and the front line health care workers working tirelessly each day to care for them, we ask you to please stay home for two weeks and eliminate your interactions with those outside your household until we can flatten the curve."

People who don't follow new local health orders requiring masks and social distancing will face fines, the public health department said in a news release.In a separate statement, the office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said El Paso's convention center is set to open this week as a hospital with a capacity of as many as 100 beds. State officials were also deploying auxiliary medical units to hospitals that can provide another 100 beds apiece, the statement said.

More than 170 patients remain in intensive care, El Paso County health data shows. Three new deaths were added Sunday, for a total of 575 since March.

ElPaso But only stay home AFTER you VoteJoeBiden

How will this impact voting

They don’t wont you to know about it because it can be had for free. If it is free . They can’t see any money off it. If you catch the coronavirus and you get well again. It’s because youth own body’s immunity system was able to produce the antibiotics and antibodys to do so.

COVID-19 Surges In Rural Communities, Overwhelming Some Local HospitalsRural communities in the U.S. were largely spared in the early months of the pandemic. Now, they're experiencing some of the country's worst outbreaks. 'Rural is not a refuge,' one public expert says. What do psychiatrists think of Trump? Many think he’s, to use the technical term, nuts. His mental state not Biden's, is the real concern, mental health professionals say.“ Trump’s cognitive decline or problems are that he doesn’t even seem to have comprehension of reality.' Good! All Trump voters I presume. And Covid deniers. No different from racist, holocaust deniers. The chicken WILL come home to roost Lol 'It's clear that those communities with mask mandates have a more flat trajectory' Yeah right
