Texas Children's Hospital will begin admitting ADULTS into the Med Surg service and Hospitalist services.

Yes, that's right.

Anyone medical knows that means the TCH physicians most capable of treating those patients are the fresh-faced pediatric INTERNS who have the most recent experience in adult medicine as 3rd & 4th year medical students....which they still were a few weeks ago...Oh, but they don't start until Wednesday.

This did not have to happen.

tRump, Abbott, Kemp....all terminally stupid. For others.

...include the Guvs in Iowa and Neb for withholding virus info from their states' populations.

Despicable at best and probably criminally negligent in what should be a basic duty of office. I hope this virus brings these slugs a big dose of personal suffering.

Many of us would agree that this is the type of chart we would expect to see in Mumbai or Lagos. Not here with American exceptionalism! That term has gone away pretty quickly hasn't it!

NY State tested 57,000 people on Sunday. They had about a 1% positive test ratio. Testing is how you beat this thing, not how you hide from it.

A friend of mine, a nurse herself, commented that right now, "recovered" meant "not dead"...

Texas hits all-time high for COVID-19 cases; governor urges residents to stay home

Texas is hitting an all-time high for COVID-19 cases, and Gov. Greg Abbott has told state residents to stay home unless they need to be out.

www.usatoday.com

“We want to make sure everyone reinforces the best safe practices of wearing a mask, hand sanitation, maintaining safe distance, but importantly, because the spread is so rapid right now, there’s never a reason for you to have to leave your home unless you need to go out,” Abbott said. “The safest place for you is at your home.”

Coronavirus has widened America's vast racial wealth gap, study finds

The coronavirus pandemic has proved a bonanza for billionaires and further widened the enormous racial wealth gap in the US, according to a new report released Friday.

In the 12 weeks between 18 March and 11 June, the combined wealth of all US billionaires increased by more than $637bn to a total of $3.581tn, more than the entire wealth of the US’s 59 million Latinx population combined and equal to three-quarters of all Black wealth, according to an analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS).

The report is called: White Supremacy as Pre-existing Condition: Eight Solutions to Ensure Economic Recovery Reduces the Racial Wealth Divide.

The top five billionaires – Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison – saw their wealth grow by a total of $101.7bn, or 26% between 18 March and 17 June. They captured 17.4% of the total wealth growth of all 600-plus billionaires in the last three months. The fortunes of Bezos and Zuckerberg together grew by nearly $76bn.

Over the same period, 44 million Americans lost their jobs and filed for unemployment insurance. The numbers have declined from a one week peak of 6.6 million in April but are still historically high. More than 3 million people have filed for unemployment in the last two weeks alone. Latinx and African American people have been hit hardest by the layoffs.
