“That’s the highest number we’ve had,” Love told NBC Friday. “It basically represents 26% to 27% of hospital capacity.” Love said while they are relieved to see a slight decrease in hospitalized patients, they still anticipate a surge within two weeks and continue to plan accordingly. As of Friday, there are 82 adult ICU beds remaining in North Texas with COVID-19 patients making up nearly 50% of the total ICU capacity. “You have a bad car wreck or something like that, those [ICU] numbers can move around pretty quickly,” Love cautioned. During a meeting Friday afternoon with the state’s task force on COVID-19, Texas State Health Services Department Commissioner Dr. John Hellerstedt said there were nearly 14,000 COVID-19 patients across Texas hospitals.
