'People are quite literally looking like a fish out of water in my COVID ward. No one would want to be that individual if they could see it just once,' the hospital's chief medical officer said Friday.
A hospital in Dallas is expected to open a fourth COVID-19 ward to treat a surge of new patients, as the county recorded its highest number of new cases in one day since December.
"Guys, this is for real. We're not making this stuff up," Chang said."People are quite literally looking like a fish out of water in my COVID ward. No one would want to be that individual if they could see it just once." As the Delta variant continues to spread, Chang added that Parkland is seeing a rise in hospitalizations among younger people. Now 40 percent of current patients are younger than 50, while 20 percent are older than 65, marking a dramatic change from January when a majority of patients were older. Chang warned that the situation could soon worsen with the reopening of schools.
On Wednesday, the county reported over 4,400 new cases – marking the highest number of new cases in one day since December, when the county reported more than 6,000 cases, according to the database.
