Wow. This article aged badly in the span of hours. From the article, published this week: "...bringing back social restrictions is pointless so long as there is no danger of hospitals being overwhelmed." Also from this week (https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/13/us/dallas-county-no-pediatric...): "Your child will wait for another child to die.' Amid Covid-19 surge, Dallas County has no pediatric ICU beds left, county judge says" |

"Your child will just not get on the ventilator, your child will be CareFlighted to Temple or Oklahoma City or wherever we can find them a bed, but they won't be getting one here unless one clears"
The article falsely makes it seem like children are dying of covid, when their hospitalized and the actual claim being made is that if you're in a car crash your kid won't get the treatment it needs.
It states 11,000 hospitalizations in the state, and then berries at the end that there's 323 open ICU beds. Elsewhere talk to this article is the gem that it's summer and people are going on vacation, nurses and doctors, and so this is actually a managed shortage, and doctors and nurses can come back from vacation early if there's actually a problem.
Nowhere does it State how many unstaffed beds are available.
And all from a judge.
I'll give it a d plus, just because it provided most of the relevant facts even if it totally misconstrued everything else
