Dr. Garza said they are leaving shifts and seeing people inside gas stations not wearing masks.“People will be judged on how they handled this catastrophe. There is no more time for excuses,” warned Dr. Garza.This comes as the latest numbers show a record-high number of 895 people in the hospital with COVID-19 as the region prepares for the Thanksgiving holiday.Dr. Garza said he believes Thanksgiving will be a super spreader event.
