Bryan/College Station COVID Update

Due to having a relative in healthcare, I was able to learn the following information:

Scott & White Hospital
• No staffed beds available. ICU is full. ER has overflow patients in the halls.
• Pulmonology Clinic is closed except for patients with immediate needs.


CHI - St. Joseph's Hospital
• Pulmonologists are alternating between the hospital and clinic.
• No bed count status, but the situation is described as bad.
• 97% of the patients are unvaccinated. Meanwhile, 100% of the patients on ventilators are unvaccinated.

I do not have any additional information for those hospitals beyond the bullet points.


Meanwhile, from the Bryan/College Station Eagle:

Brazos County reports 122 new COVID-19 cases Thursday
