As of Saturday, Houston had a record number of people in the ICU for Covid 19.  Harris County health district saw an 11% increase in ICU occupancy.  Texas Medical Center had surpassed 100% ICU capacity.  Texas set a record for hospitalizations and deaths and it was the worst week for deaths since the pandemic began. 

NYC has the population of Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso, and Arlington combined.  There is a big difference in population density.  Plus they were hit at the beginning of the pandemic compared to months later. It's an apples to oranges comparison.

True and why one size fits all is a bad way to manage the virus. Mask mandates in South Dakota is dumb, but in NYC great idea. n time, we will see the death rates within 30 days as the current cases are resolved hopefully gone or sadly result in death.
