A Texas hospital overwhelmed by COVID-19 cases will begin to decide which patients to treat based on how likely they are to survive, and may send the sicker patients “home to die by their loved ones,” county officials said.

"Unfortunately, Starr County Memorial Hospital has limited resources and our doctors are going to have to decide who receives treatment, and who is sent home to die by their loved ones," Starr County Judge Eloy Vera wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday. "This is what we did not want our community to experience."
