El Paso, Texas See 300% Increase In Covid-19 Hospitalizations As Cases Continue To Rise Across The U.S.

After the city recorded a roughly 200 percent increase in hospitalizations in less than a month, El Paso, Texas has turned its convention center into a field hospital and is asking residents to stay at home for two weeks. The spike in hospitalizations came as much of the United States saw a rise in the spread of coronavirus. Texas’ neighbor New Mexico recorded 4,252 new cases last week. 

In El Paso, a border city of more than 680,000, the number of hospitalizations recorded in the last three weeks jumped from 259 to 786, according to the city’s director of public health, Angela Mora. In a statement, Mora warned that local health services and hospitals will remain strained for people suffering non-coronavirus emergencies like heart attacks, strokes and car accidents. “If we continue on this trend, we risk detrimental effects to our entire healthcare system,” Mora said. “For the sake of those hospitalized and the frontline healthcare workers working tirelessly each day to care for them, we ask you to please stay home for two weeks and eliminate your interactions with those outside your household until we can flatten the curve.”

People who don’t follow new local health orders requiring masks and social distancing will face fines, the public health department said in a news release on Sunday. In a separate statement, the office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that El Paso’s convention center is set to open this week as a hospital with a capacity of as many as 100 beds. State officials were also deploying auxiliary medical units to local hospitals that can provide another 100 beds each, the statement said.

Senate Advance Supreme Court Nominee Amy Coney Barrett For Vote On Monday

In a procedural vote on Sunday, Senate Republicans voted to advance the process to confirm Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court. The Senate voted 51-48 to break a Democratic filibuster of Barrett’s nomination, setting up a final vote to confirm President Donald Trump’s selection to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Monday. Just 51 of the 53 Republicans in the Senate must vote in favor of Barrett’s confirmation to secure her spot on the court.

Barrett’s confirmation would give conservatives a 6-3 ideological majority on the Supreme Court and her nomination has faced resistance from Democrats who believe the decision of filling Ginsburg’s seat on the court should be made by the winner of November’s election. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has warned that Barrett’s confirmation could spell an end for the Affordable Care Act and ohers have expressed concern that a conservative majority may threaten the landmark abortion case Roe vs. Wade.

After fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Justin Gaethje during UFC 254 on Saturday, he dropped surprising news by announcing that the match would be the last in his UFC career.

Following his victory, Nurmagomedov said: “This was my last fight. There’s no way I’m going to come here without my father. … After what happened with my father — when UFC called me about Justin — I talked with my mother [for] three days, ‘should I go fight without my father?’ I promised her it was gonna be my last fight. And if I give my word, I have to follow it.”  Nurmagomedov lost his father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, in July due to COVID-19 complications. The coach had been placed in a medically-induced coma in May after reportedly contracting pneumonia, and doctors diagnosed him with the coronavirus while he was in the hospital. Nurmagomedov also later underwent heart surgery for a preexisting further complicated by the virus. Nurmagomedov’s father passed away as he was stuck in Russia due to a travel ban. 

The undefeated fighter had a bout scheduled with Tony Ferguson, but it fell through and Gaethje stepped to secure the interim lightweight title. He then issued a challenge to Nurmagomedov, who ultimately met on Saturday as the main event of UFC 254. Nurmagomedov secured the victory during the second of five rounds. then immediately announced his retirement from the UFC.
