While physicians and nurses at Memorial Hermann say they’re still equipped to handle the surge in cases, ICU beds at the hospital are nearly full, and all Texas Medical Center institutions are operating at a “Phase 2” contingency plan to make use of additional beds in overflow areas.

With the plan in place, the total number of ICU beds being used across the medical center is 1,367, including 512 for COVID-19.

Another 840 ICU beds are available under surge plans, according to medical center data, and more capacity can be created by converting beds.

In an appearance on former Nintendo boss Reggie Fils-Aime's new podcast, Druckmann said the PS5's new SSD will help cut down on load times, which will in turn open new doors for Naughty Dog's developers.

Druckmann pointed out that Naughty Dog already works hard to minimize loading zones in its games, but this is only possible due to technical wizardry happening behind the scenes that the player never sees.

With the PS5, developers won't need to be as crafty, Druckmann teased.

The post goes on to confirm that following a "comprehensive study of realm populations for every realm in the world", the developer will "connect the low-population realms to other existing realms" over the next two-three months "until we've connected every low-population realm in every region to a substantially larger population of players".

"As this project unfolds, we will post notices in advance of each week's connections in the appropriate regions and languages," Blizzard added.

"During each maintenance period, everything will be automatically combined for the affected realms.
