A new model from UT Southwestern predicts Dallas County hospitals will see 1,200 patients hospitalized at the same time by the end of the month. That would be the highest level seen in the pandemic. The state of Texas will supply 1,000 extra staffers to hospitals over the next few days across 19 counties in the North Texas area."When I look at some of the requests that are made, the hospitals make a request to the state through the RAC, that number is sometimes as high as 4,000," he said.While along with the unvaccinated, many vaccinated are also catching the omicron variant, doctors say it is still primarily those who are not vaccinated filling hospital beds.
