An entire town in Texas was forced to shut down after half of the residents tested positive for COVID-19.
Iraan, the west Texas town of 1,200, has had a 42 percent positivity rate with 50 people being infected within a two-week span in August, according to Iraan General Hospital CEO Jason Rybolt, CNN reported.
Rybolt also cited a low number of ICU beds available in Texas, saying that one patient even had to be airlifted to an out-of-state hospital to receive care.
Texas has experienced a scarcity of ICU beds due to lack of mask-wearing, low vaccination rates and the highly contagious delta strain of COVID-19.
To save space for patients with COVID-19, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott requested that hospitals postpone elected surgeries.

It is a wide spot in the road.
Permian Basin.
A bit East and a bit WAY South of Midland.
Don’t you love how they lead with “Due to lask of mask wearing” when we know cloth masks provide at best 10% protection against aerosols?
“Texas has experienced a scarcity of ICU beds due to lack of mask-wearing, low vaccination rates and the highly contagious delta strain of COVID-19.”
bulldroppings..
I bet those beds are full of ILLEGALS!
Plus they fired a bunch of medical personnel for being un”vaxxed”.
In a rural area like that it is almost impossible to spread any disease that fast.
What are they not telling us?
I have actually been to Iraan, Texas. I was doing some work in Midland and on the weekends I would travel the area checking things out.
Iraan TX? Where is that?
“The city essentially closed” CNN story details effects of COVID-19 on Iraan:
And how many of these people were actually sick?
How many needed hospitalization?
How many died?
What is happening is that the “mandatory vaxx” orders come down, and then hospital employees disappear—like magic!
So they cite some little town nobody has heard of, and use that as “All of Texas”. LOL, this is just getting more pathetic by the day.
ICU beds are always scarce compared to other units.
“I would travel the area checking things out.”
Now that is funny. You could check out all that’s worth checking out on a 30 minute lunch break.
Blaming lack of masks is a flat out LIE…
Masks do NOTHING.
Masks do indeed do something.
Masks are muzzles.
I know the NRA cancelled their annual meeting in Huston for next month. Second time in as many years. But something is fishy with the NRA of late. Something besides Covid
Apparently “Iraan” is derived from the names of Ira and Ann Yates, the owners of the ranch that ended up becoming the town (it’s also pronounced “Ira-Ann” apparently), and not from the terrorist state formerly known as Persia.
Biden let’s in 1.5 million illegal aliens. Many sick with covid, AND who knows what else. Ever hear of Monkeypox? Brought in by 4 Nigerian illegal aliens and so far spread to 200. https://www.statnews.com/2021/07/20/more-than-200-people-in-u-s-being-monitored-for-possible-monkeypox-exposure-cdc-says/
He busses them or flies them into the interior of the US and then wonders why hospital numbers are rising?
Remember each of those here illegally get to bring in family. Usually 10-12 each That makes about another 30 million so far this year. How many are we supposed to work and pay taxes to support?
Thanks Joe.
