Texas Shatters Daily Record With Over 10,000 New Coronavirus Cases
CBS News ^ | July 8, 2020 | Sophie Lewis

Texas has once again broken its single-day record for new coronavirus cases. The state reported 10,028 new cases Tuesday as officials warned that hospitals are reaching capacity.

The previous daily record was 8,260 new cases on July 4. There are now more than 200,000 cases across the state, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. The state also set a new record for single-day deaths, with 60.

*****”B. Herd immunity appears to be a chimera. Tests of places that were ravaged in Spain still show only 10-15% with antibodies. The antibodies may be very short-lived. Not clear. But we’re nowhere close to herd immunity.”*******

Then that would mean the virus:
A—Does not spread as easily as originally thought.
B—Affects only a certain % or type of people only.
C—The test is not accurate.

The chart doesn’t make sense to me. It says in the bottom graph that 85 people died on July 7 2020 from Covid-19 yet in the above statistic not one person died. Which is it?
___________________________________________________________

You have to remember this is TEXAS. There are feedlots and pastures with cows and bulls. Their report and/or reporter(s) must’ve spilled some manure into the report and left it in there.

Second wave?(Texas numbers in here also):

“Today, our national HIT(Herd Immunity Threshold) is roughly 15%, which means we are almost done, no matter what any Governor does.”

“The Herd Immunity Threshold (“HIT”) for COVID-19 is between 10-20%. This fact gets less press than any other. Most people understand the basic concept of herd immunity and the math behind it. In the early days, some public health officials speculated that COVID-19’s HIT was 70%. Obviously, the difference between a HIT of 70% and a HIT of 10-20% is dramatic, and the lower the HIT, the quicker a virus will burn out as it loses the ability to infect more people, which is exactly what COVID-19 is doing everywhere, including the U.S, which is why the death curve above(attached) looks the way it looks.”

Something weird is going on down there, just like NY and NJ in the beginning.

Wrong, NY and NJ were killing their elderly wholesale. 10,000 elderly in NY alone did not need to die. Next, the Trump pill works in combo with Z-Packs. Also, doctors are not killing people wholesale by shoving them on respirators much too early (death rate in NY was 88% for respirator patients, twice the normal rate).

There were a ton of mistakes (thousands died needlessly) made that seemed to have been corrected so we are never going back to NY and NJ again. Unless of course the Northern Governors decide to murder a few thousand additional people.

Flu shots and a number of other vaccines can give you a false positive.

60 deaths in a day? Wow. Let me know when it reaches New Jersey peak levels of about 500 deaths per day.

Over 2/3 of all Pennsylvania deaths counted were nursing homes.

Use this link.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/texas-coronavirus-cases.html

Go down on the linked page to the list by county.

There is a color coded bar on the right side of the list indicating if cases are rising or not. The bar runs from March to current, with a different color block on the bar for each time period.

You’ll see at this time Nueces county (Corpus Christi area) has the most surge at the moment. I am sure Corpus Christi has more and better medical facilities than Brownsville and Brownsville is only 2 hour drive from Corpus Christi. Want do you want to bet some the the “surge” in cases in Texas, as it is in Arizona and California, is coming from south of the Border.

At minimum the Northern Governors should resign in disgrace. Justice would demand they go to prison. This is also a case where Black Lives Don’t Matter, most of these stricken nursing homes were in minority communities (under funded because of mismanaged cities). I imaging they could not breath either as these patients died over a much longer period than 8 minutes.

Headline today in York Dispatch sez “late test results” indicate big uptick in cases. (Quotation marks mine). These late test results, under a DemocRAT governor, sound very much like the “vote harvesting” the RATS are famous for. When they need a quantity of anything; votes, test results, anarchist rioters, the RATS have a supply of them stashed and ready. We’re being played.

Why not report new cases of toenail fungus, or poison ivy infections? It’s the death rate thing that should be what alerts authorities to manhandle society into submission.

Perhaps reporting Covid-19 declining death rates wouldn’t have the same panic inducing affect? I dunno..

Actually, I believe hospitalization rate is up in TX, according to numbers I read yesterday.

Thank you both. Though this is the third wave (unofficially first wave was in November/December 2019)

Well I hope that the new patients receive the proper medicine and the lessons about ventilators were learned, because that would be a tragedy if they haven’t learned.

Democrats trying to carry Texas in November with this LIE. Expect the same LIES to be spread to Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida. Oh geez. What a coincidence. They’re all swing states in the election!

Re: “Another major protest state that is surging is Washington.”

I do not see a surge in our state or King County (Seattle) data.

For the past four weeks, the number of tests have gone up each week, but the percentage of NEGATIVE tests has also gone up each week.

Our weekly POSITIVE test rate has stayed between 5%-7% for almost the entire pandemic.

Here is the King County test link.

If you put your cursor on the chart bars, it shows the positive percentage.

What happened to the seasonal flu? Did covid kill it off?

You’re very wrong in your statement, “...at its worst is just a severe common cold.” I’m not going to go through arguing it again, but I’ve previously posted on this forum that this virus does badly injure young people, and on occasion kills them. I’ve posted direct reports from physicians in my family, but the FluBros here refuse to hear anything that opposes their narrative.

You are right, though, that if you are young, most likely you will not get seriously ill. However, some will, and will end up in the hospital on O2 and possibly the ICU. It’s a dangerous virus.

They did, and the consensus is that a change in course of treatment to avoid going on the vent is responsible for the lower death rate for those who are hospitalized. It’s still no walk in the park for the patients, though.
