Surges of COVID-19 patients are threatening to overwhelm hospitals across the nation. CNN reports at least 123,639 people across the country were in the hospital with the novel coronavirus on Saturday. The COVID Tracking Project says that marks the 32nd consecutive day that the number of hospitalizations has exceeded 100,000. Cases skyrocketed after the Thanksgiving holiday. The fallout form Christmas and New Year's celebrations are still unfolding. Johns Hopkins University data reveals that as of Saturday, more than 20.4 million people have been infected with the virus in the US. At least 350,186 people have died from the illness.
The Great State of Texas is staggering under the weight of surging coronavirus cases and deaths. Morgues in Texas are overflowing, and the National Guard has been sent to El Paso to process bodies. Across the state, thousands are lining up for food rations. But the nightmarish conditions haven't stopped the state's Republican senator from keeping his Thanksgiving holiday plans on track. Business Insider reports Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted an insensitive graphic depicting a turkey with the words 'come and take it' below it. The tweet suggests he has no intention of following the advice of health officials this coming holiday. Dr. Anthony Fauci and other experts have warned that large, in-person gatherings this fall could spread the coronavirus and create another uptick in cases.
With no end in sight to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic in the US, it's no surprise that myths about the virus abound. According to Business Insider, one common myth is that wearing a mask is dangerous because you'll get carbon dioxide poisoning. But epidemiology professor Stephen Morse says any CO2 the wearer exhales passes through the mask, just like oxygen, and doesn't build up. After all, healthcare workers wear masks for hours on end, which is proof that mask-wearing does not cause carbon dioxide poisoning or toxicity. Furthermore, blood oxygen levels remain perfectly normal when wearing a mask, provided the wearer is healthy.
