The state has recorded more than 130,000 cases and nearly 3,000 deaths. More than 4,300 people with the virus are hospitalized across the state, more than double the number at the beginning of June. To ensure that hospitals have enough capacity to care for virus patients, Mr. Abbott issued [an executive order]('https://gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/press/EO-GA-27_hospital_capacity_COVID-19.pdf') suspending elective procedures in hospitals in four counties: Bexar, Dallas, Travis and Harris, which includes hard-hit Houston.
Mayor Sylvester Turner of Houston told local lawmakers on Wednesday that the city’s intensive-care units were filled to 97 percent capacity, and that more than a quarter of those patients had tested positive for the virus.

Wanna bet that number gets eclipsed by another state soon?
"The deer hunter habitually watches the next bend; the duck hunter watches the skyline; the bird hunter watches the dog; and the non-hunter does not watch." Aldo Leopold "Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing it is not the fish they are after." Henry David Thoreau
Do I see a thumbs up on a bet for more people dying? That's saying I hope people die so I'm proven correct - really, really sad commentary on today's society.
