“That’s not What I hear from hospital folks I know at Vandy and St Thomas here”
“But as far as ravaging hospitals ..not here
And Texas and Tennessee have similar rates of infection”
I never said Texas hospitals were “ravaged”. Sorry you invented that.
Couple of notes: Texas has the fastest growing covid cases in the nation now. Up 51% in the past week (https://www.axios.com/coronavirus-cases-spike-in-texas-and-arizona-1819ce9f-8565-483a-b367-b678a607154d.html)
As for physicians and other health care workers: Some are really on the front lines and others are way, way in the back. ER Docs are front and center. Ortho? Way in the back. They mostly do elective surgery. Their surgeries are postponed. They’ve been at home on the couch. Their salaries are WAY down. Of course they are upset at the salary lost. They aren’t taking care of the covid patients.
Texas cases are almost precisely proportional to Tennessee population wise
