Texas Cases, Deaths Climb (5:10 p.m. NY)
Texas added 5,996 cases in the past 24 hours, a third consecutive day of record-breaking increases, according to state health department data. The 4.8% jump exceeded the 3.9% seven-day average and brought total inflections to 131,917.
Fatalities increased by 47 to 2,296, the grimmest one-day advance since May 15. The positive-test rate surged to 11.76%, the highest since April 16.
Another shut down is necessary.
Too many morons taking chances .
I much prefer a targeted shut down. People in the at risk need to remain on self-imposed lockdown. Nursing homes have to be protected. People under 50 that are healthy and skinny won't need many ICU beds so they can determine their need to pull back. People need to make money to house and feed families and not all people are at the same risk level, so we don't need the same level of lockdown for all people. The protests were super spreader events like Mardi Gras was. No more of that for a while out of self preservation please.
