“HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Hundreds of patients inside Houston hospitals were left waiting for beds for the second day in a row.
Ten hospitals in the area reported about 200 people who were waiting for a bed on Friday morning, even though hospitals have been saying for weeks they do have the capacity to help more people.”
“"It makes no sense to be having this conversation while this virus is out of control," Turner said. "You don’t send kids back to school when there's a raging fire and the fires still burning in August. Put the doggone fire out in July, so shut down for a couple of weeks."
Saturday, the city reported a record-high number of cases in a single day: 1,524. It is the second time this week the city reported more than 1,000 new cases in a single day.
"Parents can't even rationalize it," the mayor said. "In order to give people that added comfort, you’ve got to get control of this virus in July."”
“The numbers continue to move in the wrong direction in this City and in this State. For the first time more than 1500 Houstonians tested positive in a single day. We need a Stay Home Order or at the very minimum return to Phase 1 for 2 weeks. We need to hit the reset button. st
