Darrell Pile with SETRAC is concerned that this current surge will surpass all of those prior.

COVID-19 is leaving hospitals so packed first responders and patients are facing excruciating wait times.

Emergency room doctors in Southeast Texas say they are running out of hospital beds and some patients are waiting hours and sometimes days to be admitted into a hospital.
