What's Texas' current death rate? How does it compare to the flu? How does it compare to other states for Wuhan virus?
Just under 2700 deaths. Rate is 93/million population.
So we cancelled the State Fair when we have > 7,000 deaths to go to reach a bad influenza season? We're smart.
Yeah, it would be much smarter to wait and cancel it after everyone's dead.
"everyone's dead"
Well, that will eventually be true, but well over 99% of them will not have died from covid.
More than 40% of COVID deaths are occurring in nursing homes.
The one where my mother-in-law lives in Dallas just had their first case.
She's 89, frail and already has a chronic cough.
Maybe her life doesn't mean enough to you to take public health precautions, but it means a lot to us.
Now would be a good time for you to shut up about how few people will die from COVID when, thanks to voters like you, Abbott opened up too soon, with the predictable results you're now seeing.
