I hope this baby girl pulls through this, so sad. :(

Video provided by Harris Health Systems to local TV station KTRK shows the baby girl being transported by air ambulance because there were no beds available in her hometown of Houston.

"She needed to be intubated immediately because she was having seizures," said Patricia Darnauer, administrator for Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital in Houston. "We looked at all five major pediatric hospital groups and none [had beds] available."

Yes our Hospitals are overloaded. My brother in law in La. needs a heart valve replacement surgery and came here today to see his doctor. The surgeon thinks he can wait 6 months to have it done. Hopefully he can wait that long. With covid most of the ICU beds are full in the Med Center. He cannot have it where he lives in Louisiana. They do not have the facilities there to handle the surgery. His doctor there says the best place to have it is Houston. So we are hoping he can wait.
