Starr County Health Authority Dr. Jose Vazquez says that Starr County Memorial Hospital in McAllen, Texas — the county’s only hospital — has formed an “ethics committee” tasked with assessing the survival potential of coronavirus patients “and will send home those with low probabilities,” LocalSYR reports.

“There is nowhere to put these patients. The whole state of Texas and neighboring states have no ICU beds to spare for us,” Vazquez said Tuesday afternoon during a video conference call.
“We are going to have these committees reviewing each case,” Vazquez said. “End-of-life decisions and hospice decisions and comfort-care situation for all those patients who most certainly do not have any hope of improving we believe they will be better taken care in the love of their own family and home rather than thousands of miles away dying alone.”

2. The conservative mindset that put us where we are.

Short-sighted, shallow and selfish. And blindingly stupid.

3. I'm going to guess that McAllen's outbreak disproportionately is affecting hispanics.

It is a border town.

Do I need to say anymore? Dark, I know.

Rep'n Guv Abbot will be known as the 'death panel guv'.

The same Abbot who said Texas had plenty of hospital beds.
