Several U.S. states reported on Thursday’s record coVID-19 deaths, and authorities warn that next week’s figures could be even worse.
The 105 deaths reported Thursday in Texas make it the deadliest week of the pandemic in what temporarily has one of the country’s virus-sensitive areas. Texas reported a new record of hospitalizations for the tenth consecutive day.
Gov. Greg Abbott has to drop more hospital beds by banning elective medical procedures at hospitals serving more than a hundred Texas counties. There are now more than 9,600 coronavirus patients in Texas hospitals, twice as many as just two weeks ago.

The state also reported the biggest 24-hour jump in hospitalizations, with 409 patients admitted. Intensive care units are quickly filling up, including those in some hospitals with the largest bed capacity, such as the University of Florida Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville and Tampa General Hospital. About 14 per cent of the state’s ICU beds were available Thursday.
Intensive care beds were also needed in Mississippi, where authorities say the state’s five largest hospitals had one for midweek patients due to the buildup of coronavirus cases. Four other hospitals had five consistent with pennies or less of open extensive care beds.

In Europe, the Serbian government on Thursday banned demonstrations of more than 10 people in the capital, Belgrade, after two nights of violent clashes between police and thousands of demonstrators protesting against the coronavirus blockade measures.
The Serbian government’s crisis team said the restrictions were aimed at preventing the spread of the virus after the clashes, where the physical distance was slightly observed and few people wore face masks.
In addition to restricting meetings, enclosed companies such as coffee shops, shopping malls or grocery stores have been ordered to operate for less time. Although the new government measures do not come with a curfew originally planned for the weekend, the restriction of meetings means a ban on demonstrations.
