In Houston, where Covid-19 is currently striking very strong, the Texas Medical Center wrote an open letter to its citizens, away from young people. "Young people tend to be more active in community collection, which can contribute more to the spread of the virus," said the letter. "To this end, we implore young citizens to take it to themselves to engage at a distance physically as much as possible and to wear masks during socialization with each other."
"If this trend continues, our capacity of the hospital system will become outdated, leading us to make difficult choices to delay non-coovidating care needed to accommodate more coovidant patients," he continued. "So we call the people of Houston to do their part in helping us slow the spread of this dangerous virus."
