四月份纽约的新闻重播: https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/patient-flow/our-backs-are-to-the-wall-texas-hospital-to-turn-away-covid-19-patients-with-poor-survival-chances.html
A Texas hospital has formed an ethics committee to screen all COVID-19 patients for survival potential and send home those with low survival chances, according to Border Report. Rio Grande City, Texas-based Starr County Memorial Hospital, implemented an ethics committee and a triage committee to review incoming COVID-19 patients, Starr County Health Authority Jose Vazquez, MD, said during a July 21 videoconference call. The committees will determine what type of treatment patients will likely require and whether they are likely to survive. Those deemed too fragile, sick or elderly will be advised to go home. Patients with low recovery chances will be better cared for at home with loved ones rather than dying at a hospital thousands of miles away, Dr. Vazquez said. 
"There is nowhere to put these patients. The whole state of Texas and neighboring states have no ICU beds to spare for us," Dr. Vazquez said. The county of 61,000 residents has recorded 1,573 COVID-19 cases and 16 related deaths with 27 fatality cases pending, according to Border Report. As of July 22, 11,461 of 55,263 hospital beds are available statewide, with 1,088 ICU beds open. Currently, Texas has more COVID-19 patients hospitalized than any other state, with 10,848 COVID-19 patients as of July 22.

德州的ICU只有19%是Covid19病人

德州现在爆发死亡率高很多都来自于边境county,这个starr county就是其中之一
Texas Border update 7/22 - What else is there to say? 38.6% of today's Texas reported deaths
* 9% of Texas' population * Past 29 days, Border share of Texas deaths up to 27.30% - a full 3X population * Hidalgo 49, Cameron 15, Webb 5, Starr 4, Maverick 3 * 76 of 197 today
Patients with low recovery chances will be better cared for at home with loved ones rather than dying at a hospital thousands of miles away 几千迈还是德州吗?

现在爆的几个州TX, CA,AZ有什么共同点?美墨边境虽表面上因为Covid关了,但是还是允许essential crossing
What is defined as an “Essential Crossing” According to legal  published on the US Federal Register, “essential travel” (permitted crossings) are defined as: U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents returning to the United States; Individuals traveling for medical purposes (e.g., to receive medical treatment in the United States); Individuals traveling to attend educational institutions; Individuals traveling to work in the United States (e.g., individuals working in the farming or agriculture industry who must travel between the United States and Mexico in furtherance of such work); Individuals traveling for emergency response and public health purposes (e.g., government officials or emergency responders entering the United States to support Federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial government efforts to respond to Covid-19 or other emergencies); Individuals engaged in lawful cross-border trade (e.g., truck drivers supporting the movement of cargo between the United States and Mexico); Individuals engaged in official government travel or diplomatic travel; Members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and the spouses and children of members of the U.S. Armed Forces, returning to the United States; and Individuals engaged in military-related travel or operations.

这么说这个地区来源是边界的劳模进出。 南部州是好几个因素重合在一起了,无防护保障地开放INDOOR SOCIAL, 各种名目的游行,再加上 FAMILY 聚集,高温下商场COMMUNITY空调室内传播。

前几天有加州和墨西哥边境那里的采访 大叔热得一头汗 通勤过来做农工 说自己也怕病毒 带着口罩 然而必须做工 否则一家人没得吃
马上到收割季节了 世界到处都有农场爆发的

每年这个时候都这样,而且墨墨们都天生乐观,又喜欢一大家子几代人一起住,最喜欢开个party什么的

边境小镇医疗本来就不能和大城市比,德州已经努力疏散病人了,但人数增长太快。这两天那几个严重的county好像已经下了shelter in place order,州长也派部队医疗支援了

你去看看采访 他们也很害怕 的确有乐天的 但是也有不少很怕的
所以说口罩令还是有用的
Reddit就有人抱怨 体力工 挤在一起 员工戴着口罩生怕传染家 为了赚钱一定要来做工 然而老板和其他非体力工不戴口罩晃来晃去 他们有钱身体更健康也不担心 员工怎么强迫老板戴口罩?这事就得靠政府下令,至少能帮一部分人听话。

不得不说这一点我很欣赏墨西哥人。我们这西裔数量这么多,但是你到街头看homeless基本看不到西裔,都是白人和黑人。他们哪怕没固定工作也不会去乞讨,都蹲在home depot门口的树底下等短工的机会
