]]>HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Mayor Sylvester Turner is proposing a two-week shutdown to ‘re-calibrate’ as COVID-19 cases continue to increase.
Turner said Saturday he believes there’s nothing wrong with taking a few steps back and he acknowledged the city reopened too quickly.
Two weekends ago ABC13 spoke with Turner and asked if he would support another shut down. Then, he did not say yes or no, but he said he felt like the city had its chance to get people to stay home in March and it would be very challenging to get them to do it a second time.
“We have to acknowledge the fact that the numbers are continuing to rise,” said Turner. “Not everybody is going to wear a mask. Let’s be real. Even with the requirement.”
Turner said the number of people needing to go to the hospital needs to be slowed down.
National School of Tropical Medicine Dean Dr. Peter Hotez agreed with the shut down proposal. Hotez said other states need to do the same
He said hard choices need to be made now so schools and colleges can reopen safely in the coming months.
“I’m very frustrated by the fact that everything’s being sort of left up to the governors and the governors and the states just don’t have the epidemiological models and the horsepower to make those kinds of evidence-based decisions,” said Hotez.
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo voiced her support for another shut down for several weeks.

Gov. Greg Abbott, however said it is the last thing he wants to do, but it could happen if the virus doesn’t slow down.

]]>Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner on Sunday said his region’s hospital system could be overwhelmed within two weeks if the coronavirus situation doesn’t improve.
Mr. Turner said the number of people requiring hospitalization has “exponentially increased” and while the city can find new hospital beds, staffing will be a problem.
Cases started to explode around mid-June, he said, citing the reopening of the economy and the number of people socializing again after pandemic-related lockdowns earlier in the year.
“What’s most disturbing is the positivity rate has increased,” Mr. Turner told CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
He said about one in four tests are coming back positive, a rate that suggests rampant community spread of the virus.
Texas is one of several Sun Belt states seeing an explosion of reported cases. Some of that is due to increased testing, as infections that produce little or no symptoms are detected. But increases in hospital visits and positivity rates have local leaders worried.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said there is a similar trend in southern Florida. He said the virus seemed to proliferate alongside summertime parties, graduation celebrations and the like in recent weeks.
“We had it down to about 8% … now, they’re almost 20% showing up positive,” he told CBS.
Mr. Gimenez restricted alcohol sales and closed places where people congregate, including movie theaters and bowling alleys. He said he believes the protests against racial injustice were also a factor, as many young people congregated in the streets.
Both mayors said the evidence on the ground contradicts President Trump’s claim late Saturday that 99% of cases are “totally harmless.”
“The virus is not harmless, absolutely not,” Mr. Gimenez said. “If it were harmless, I would not be taking the steps I am taking in Miami-Dade.”

Sylvester Stallone gave an emotional video message on Wednesday to Broadway actor, Nick Cordero, who recently woke from a weeks-long coma as part of his desperate fight with COVID-19.
In a video posted to the Instagram account of Cordero’s wife, Amanda Kloots, the “Rambo” actor said he sees a similar drive in the Broadway star that he modeled his “Rocky” character after — someone who never gives up.
“But obviously you have an incredibly loving wife and beautiful child and I know to have gotten as far as you have gotten — you got what it takes, you have that eye of the tiger, you have that talent, you have that will,” Stallone said.
Kloots has posted regular updates regarding her husband’s condition on Instagram. She announced the news that Cordero had woken up from the coma on Tuesday, with their infant son Elvis in her arms.
“Guys, we might have to change our hashtag,” Kloots said in reference to the trending hashtag #WakeUpNick. “Because Nick — Dada — is awake!. I asked the doctor today, I was like, ‘Can we say he’s awake?’ He is awake.”
In the post by Stallone on Wednesday, Kloots wrote the caption, “CODE ROCKY!!!!” a fitting term used to indicate when coronavirus patients are on their way to a full recovery.
“Nick will not believe this! Thank you @officialslystallone,” she added.
Cordero, 41, has struggled with multiple complications during his battle with the coronavirus. The actor had his leg amputated on April 18 after he dealt with blood clots while on a ventilator. Kloots said he spent 38 days in the intensive care unit (ICU), suffered multiple strokes, septic shock, fungus in his lungs, and needed a temporary pacemaker to assist his heart.
“This disease does not only effect old people. This is real. A perfectly healthy 41-year-old man!” Kloots wrote last Friday.
In the video by Stallone, he expressed how he couldn’t “even fathom” what Cordero was going through, and how such a tragic situation could happen to “such a talented man.”
“You have been dealt a horrible hand, tough one, and it takes a strong strong man and a strong family to override that situation,” Stallone said. “To take it and throw it back into life’s face and say guess what? ‘It’s going to take more than that.'”

With Cordero awake having battled through so much adversity, Stallone said the actor’s strength is something for other people to look up to and admire.

“You are the man and you’re a role model for other people that have to overcome incredible odds,” Stallone said. “All I can say is keep punching, you’re the man.”
