Judge Says Delta Surge Has Left Dallas With Zero ICU Beds For Kids “We have zero ICU beds left for children ... Your child will wait for another child to die.” 💔💔💔
“In Dallas, we have zero ICU beds left for children. That means if your child’s in a car wreck, if your child has a congenital heart defect or something and needs an ICU bed, or more likely if they have COVID and need an ICU bed, we don’t have one. Your child will wait for another child to die.”

So if a child needed immediate medical attention — for COVID or anything else — their health and safety could be on the line, as they would need to wait for care and be transported farther away for proper critical care.
“Your child will just not get on the ventilator,” Jenkins explained. “Your child will be CareFlighted to Temple or Oklahoma City or wherever we can find them a bed, but they won’t be getting one here unless one clears and that’s been true for 24 hours.”A post shared by Clay Jenkins All over the Lone Star State, hospital staff are working tirelessly as ICU beds continue to fill up.
