    Friend of mine tested positive. I think his office is up to 5 people now who have tested positive.

    There clearly needs to be a mandatory mask order. I think just wearing a mask will cut this thing down significantly.

    Sounds bad and is bad but the 97% is pre-surge capacity for COVID-19. 70% are non-COVID patients. Houston is one of the premier medical areas in the world, we will have a lot of people in ICU.

    This shitty reporting is what pisses me off (not you dtx). Shannon’s “inside source” is publicly available to all and leads on that it’s due to COVID. No doubt that 97% figure will be picked up and run with by many news organizations. Had I not started tracking the daily slide deck from Texas medical center a week ago, I’d be in pure panic on that 97% number, but again we have an extra 700 beds.

    Still people need to stop being idiots. Houston should just close bars.

    Slide 9 below.

    I’ve been getting the tmc deck in my inbox every morning since April and this week is the first time I’ve been worried. This could get weird.

    i imagine the answer to this could be none but if you were to choose between Sugar Land, Woodlands, or Willowbrook whats the best option. it'd be working in those areas and probably living somewhere more central.

    this seems waaaaay outside the city making a rough commute if lived in the city vs sugarland that's almost half the length. just that nice an area that might be enticing to live in as well as work?

    would be working in choice of one, and just figuring out which one would be the easiest to commute to/from to probably live somewhere better in houston

    Or somewhere along 59 which would cut 30 minutes off the commute.

    Sugar Land for sure then. Can be there in 15 min from Houston. Misunderstood your question at first.

    we'd mostly be wanting to live somewhere walking distance to killer food/bars/etc. short ubers also acceptable.

    just brainstorming after a recruiter emailed still wildly wildly early stages of anything.

    Well with shit being as it is right now it wouldn’t matter but I’m fairly certain you could find some great deals on some places “in the loop” (610). There are a ton of places that have residential areas built on top of shopping centers and great restaurants.

    Just tell your agent to get you as close to the Menil as you can get. It’s the best part of this dumb city, honestly.

    what is so great about it

    better to live and work there than living
    in this area and commuting to sugarland?

    frankly you should live and work there. there is a cool manmade river with a shitload of retail on it. good schools. a ton of good golf courses. relatively cheap compared to living in houston.

    just google howard hughes and the woodlands and they have a ton of promotional info

    Yes, you can be on 59 and headed toward sugarland with the quickness.

    A reverse commute would be totally fine and allow you to skirt the Houston traffic that we’re so infamous for.

    Maybe a twenty minute commute depending on where the office is.

    That looks to me more like Tomball than Houston sir. One of my good friends (and former roommate) from college lives and works in Tomball and i could get you some good recommendations for the area if that is in fact where you'll be working.
