A miscommunication may have led to a letter from the office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott discussing the possible removal of a temporary hospital from the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas, County Judge Clay Jenkins says.

The letter, sent by Abbott’s Chief of Staff Luis Saenz, says the governor was told Jenkins did not plan to use the convention center for medical needs related to COVID-19.

Federal assistance could be lost if Jenkins did not make his intentions for the facility known by Monday, the letter said. Saenz wrote if the resources were not used in Dallas County, the federal government could move them to a location where they were needed.

The corn pone fascist, named Clay Jenkins, messes up again.

[RWGinger]

50 % full sounds low. Wonder what Jenkins is basing his need for the temp hospital on

[SaxxonWoods]

The combination of stupid estimating and canceling non-emergency surgeries has led to a lot of empty beds.

[nevermorelenore]

Yep

Discharged half of the beds where my son practices

They put 500 Drs on furlough, cut everyone else’s salaries by 40%

All patients who pass ( there are only a handful ) elderly,
80+, stage 4 cancer ~ put in WuFlu column $$$$$

[BereanBrain]

This is because DEM Clay Jenkins wants to play politics over lives....so Abbot says he will move the hospital....Clan folds like a cheap suit.

Abbott- open up Texas!
