No more beds at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Humble, Tx

[Ilsa]

(just north of Houston), according to a sick family member.

A family member has been diagnosed with kidney stones. He said he counted 25 people on O2 in the Emergency Department. The doctor said that normally they'd admit him, but they have no rooms available.

Dammit, to have to go home with kidney stones and no monitoring by nurses, etc. I despise the unjustfiably unvaccinated right now.

1. He is probably better off not being in the hospital right now, because of how many infected people

are there.
Scary times.

2. I lived in Humble, TX as a teenager. I'm not suprised at all - loaded with redneck idiots.

4. Houston area remains a hot Covid spot. Humble directly borders Northeast Houston,

and both are more racially diverse than the average US city. I live on the Spring/Humble line - Spring address but get Humble police. Most of my neighbors have been Democrats. Houston is so huge it keeps pushing out in the rural areas. Let's be careful about labeling people rednecks. There has been way too much confusion spread about this horrible virus and, sadly from my experience, the more rural areas are less likely to keep up with news.

8. I don't see anyone here calling

them "rednecks." It's a suburban area north of Houston with plenty of Democrats who vote, including this family member.

5. My niece in NYC had gall stones last year. She was in severe pain for 6 weeks before she could ...

... get into a hospital.

6. This is the part those unvaxed assholes don't understand

When, not if, they get covid they overrun the hospitals and prevent other people from getting the care they need.

7. Bring him north.

As long as he’s vaccinated, doesn’t have COVID and insurance covers it.

Wow…here we are.

The tsunami making landfall.
