'The explosion has to slow down': Texas hospitals on edge as coronavirus cases surge

The facilities had returned to performing non-COVID procedures over the last six weeks and saw increases in those procedures, Alsip said. But as COVID-19 cases have increased in the last week or 10 days, that has put increased pressure on the hospitals for capacity.

Masud, who oversees eight hospitals in the Houston Methodist System said the hospitals are under “tremendous stress” as they try to deal with the jump in cases, while trying to treat patients who have been waiting for procedures they should have had three months ago. “In March and April, all of the elective procedures got canceled so we could apply a lot more teams focused on COVID and we really got it done great,” he said. “The challenge is we have a whole set of other patients to take care of. It’s not like I can triple my capacity overnight because we have a lot of other patients.”Treating coronavirus does not just involve an available bed, Masud said. “You can have a bed in the Marriott," he said.

There's room and he's freaking out. Most people recover at home. Testing positive doesn't mean you have symptoms. If he thinks they need more hospital beds then call up FEMA and have them assist or other agencies that can set up mobile hospitals in tents or vacant buildings.

If only Texas governor would have treated the virus like New York governor, they had months advance to get it right GOP shameful
