We should of course take precautions given the rise in cases in Texas. But we also need to remember that death rates are decreasing and we have plenty of ICU capacity.

All the facts matter, not just the ones that make your political point. https://t.co/duApBW3qHv

“Texas Medical Center’s purpose was to urge people to do the right things…and do so by talking about capacity, but really ended up unintentionally sounding an alarm bell too loudly,” said Houston Methodist CEO Dr. Boom. “We clearly do have capacity.”https://t.co/314ijy4Slm

What to Know: A leading hospital administrator warns against panic. Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council president and CEO Stephen Love says we have plenty of capacity for COVID-19 patients.

Does it seem to you that some in the media actually want a “second wave” of the pandemic? Two physicians say the data is being distorted to fit a narrative.

COVID-19 cases seem to be surging in Texas. But the raw numbers are deceptive.

The TPPF Take: The fact is, COVID-19 deaths are trending down, even as increased testing shows more positives.

Texas is well-positioned to deal with COVID-19.

Tell full picture.@SETRAC_TX shows Harris County, includes #Houston, has had increased #COVID19 patients in ICU beds

BUT ICU beds in use remain essentially same with continued availability.

Capacity isn't static. Patients can be transported like after Harvey. @SquawkCNBC https://t.co/iWbubVj3dz pic.twitter.com/vY52fFtelf
