If you run out of beds and add more you end up with more available beds than last week.
If you admitted 1000 people last week. Ran out of beds at 800 people this week and told the rest sorry, no more room...that's not also a *real* decrease in hospitalizations last week. Right now it's hard to get objective assessments. Some states just aren't even trying (Nebraska I see...or rather...don't see you).
If you have followed the reporting over the past year, historically reporting on weekends is not that accurate, simply because the bean counters have the weekend off.

I don't expect significant change until actions are taken, mask mandates, lock-downs, etc. And keep in mind that almost half of Florida residents ARE vaccinated, so the number of people on the field is much lower now, yet still posting 20% higher than the peak before the vaccine was available.

Er asymptomatic and vaccinated but they’re giving him antibody therapy? Doesn’t seem right.

thoughts and prayers, asshole.

He's vaccinated, probably why he's asymptomatic despite having enough virus to test positive. If only Republicans in power had the balls to tell their low information culture war base to get vaccinated.

Rich? Check.
White? Check.
Gets expensive treatment even when not necessarily needed? Check.

Remember, he was one of the first to receive the vaccine (prior to Christmas) so he’s well past the 8 months of maximum efficacy. I wonder if he got a booster while the rest of the state was wheezing??

NBC News says Abbott told people he'd gotten a third vaccine dose.

So feeling great, three vaccine doses and now Regeneron's therapy. Ok...

But of course! Hi, I'm Greg Abbott and I've got lots of antibodies. So many antibodies, in fact, that I am literally sweating them out from every pore!

But that doesn't mean you have to. I support your Constitutional right to die and kill others!

He has money

Aug. 17 (UPI) -- The United States spends about 15% more on healthcare services for White people than for communities of color, an analysis published Tuesday by JAMA found.

He's already received a third booster dose.

Between his tort "reform" that arguably disenfranchised people who suffered the same debilitating injury he received in 1984, attempting to kill nearly everyone in the state by letting them freeze to death for $1MM+ and then blatantly lying about it/not doing anything to make sure it won't happen again, and again trying to kill the rest of us off under the guise of "personal responsibility"... this worthless sack of shit is the walking rolling epitome of FYGM Republicuntism

That article makes it sound like there is racial discrimination in the manner in which healthcare is dispensed, and perhaps there is. But the most obvious explanation for lower spending on healthcare of blacks and Hispanics is that they make less money and therefore have less insurance.

If we had MFA tomorrow, I've got a feeling the spending disparity would mostly go away.

Does Abbott have a severe underlying or immunocompromised condition? I mean, three doses of the vaccine had only been emergency authorized for those groups, and only just recently. I can't imagine such a steward of public health as Abbott would issue public orders that put his constituents at risk while simultaneously using his station to take benefits the public isn't afforded.

No, it wouldn't. The article is on point. There is systemic racial inequality in the way health care is doled out to whites vs. non-whites. Just do a little research into how pain management is attacked for whites vs. non-whites...you'd be surprised the number of MD's and nurses that subscribe to the belief that blacks need less pain meds for the same condition/injury/etc. than whites do. And that's just the tip of the iceburg.

He gets the best treatment, the best drugs and the rest of people in the state can have the mortuary trucks. He already knows getting it is a big deal but he’s made a deal with the devil so he can maintain political power. And earlier the grifter tweeted out a photo of himself unmasked with Jimmie Vaughan and family, so it's possible Stevie Ray will get some company soon. I hope he makes a full recovery, but maybe with enough of a scare that it gives him a little perspective. Pain is the only way some people learn. And because the alternative if he doesn't for Texans is Governor Dan Patrick, which isn't much better.
