In Texas Abbott (gov.) and Paxton (AG) are crowing while their ICUs are full

From Twitter -

Their "victory" however, seems to be the epitome of "pyrrhic."

Of course, since others will be paying the cost of their "victory", they may not consider it to be a pyrrhic one.

Multiple regions across Texas now completely out of ICU beds as COVID-19 cases spike, data shows

Twelve of 22 hospital regions in Texas have 10 or fewer ICU beds currently available as the same number of regions statewide report an increase in COVID-19 patients, state data showed Sunday.

Texas officials said seven of those regions had reported 0 available ICU beds Saturday: Abilene, Lufkin, Waco, Bryan, Beaumont, Laredo and the Corpus Christi regions.

The region around Austin was reporting just 1 available ICU bed Saturday.

 

In Texas, Austin is the state capital.

Maybe Paxton and Abbott are hoping that dead bodies will distract from their ethical issues.
