No covid beds in Central TX, McLennan/ Coryell counties unless

you need to be on a ventilator.

I posted about this before my mother-in-law and father-in-law both have covid. Both were vaccinated.

So it sounds like they're just treating them on a ER basis and then sending them home. My MIL has pneumonia now. Gave her some meds and inhaler and sent her home. Unless she has to be put on a ventilator there are no rooms.

Oh and doc wanted to give her remdesivir but couldn't since only could prescribe in-patient
