For the past week, the number of people hospitalized with Coronavirus has been increasing about 30 percent across the Texas Medical Center.

“We saw lots of those pictures and images of people packed together, not being careful, so I think we’re paying the price for that a little bit right now," Boom said.

When hospitals are overwhelmed, we saw it in New York City -- mortality rates are double what they are in Houston," Boom said.

“At our low point we got down to about 11 percent of all of our usual capacity so what we normally operate day in and day out, but we’re now up, getting into the 16, 17, 18 percent range so it’s come up significantly," Boom said.
