I was going to ask those in Texas if they have stats for various areas. Also thank you to my mother for screaming all over the place that everyone should shut themselves down and wear masks nonstop.

For some people, they are easy to fear when the media and the other ilk screaming these things doesn’t let up. They need to be held accountable.

You can look at Texas cases by county at the Worldometer site.

Checking in from Hurst TX (between Dallas and Ft Worth). I don’t know anyone that has tested positive for Covid. I do know 3 people that had to test and self quarantine because someone in their workplace tested positive (all in north Texas). All of them tested negative and they returned to work. I do food delivery for a local restaurant and none of us at work have tested positive and we never had to close. Tarrant County (where I live) posts their stats daily. We still have plenty of available hospital beds and ventilators.

San Antonio/Bexar County officials are in full panic mode, saying we’re down to 12% capacity in hospitals. They conveniently forget that they spent a wad of money getting Freeman Coliseum ready to take overflow, with hundreds of beds available, and they haven’t even opened it to patients yet BECAUSE THERE’S NO NEED.

I look at The Texas Medical Center Covid 19 dashboard website.
It has lots of interesting information on it.
& day trends for positive test went from 16% during the week of 6/22-6/28 to 11.3% so far for this week.

7 day new hospitalizations have dropped two days in a row.
Positive daily growth trend had been dropping since 6/27/20, but it did have a bump up yesterday.
Phase 1 ICU beds are full (1330 beds in total) 615 are Covid cases.
Phase 2 ICU beds are 373, 34 out of 373 are being used, 12 of which are Covid.
11157 people have been hospitalized, these numbers exclude PUIs, 2204 are currently hospitalized, 8219 have been discharged, 734 had passed away.
This is just for the greater Houston area.

Texas Department of State Health Services has this site up:

Interestingly you can see graphs of cases, but I didn’t see any for fatalities.

If you go to the “Additional Data” tab, they do have Excel spreadsheets you can download that includes Fatalities by county.

If you plot the average daily fatality rate, you get a very different curve from the number of cases curve the media is pushing. From what I saw it looks like it spiked some time ago and has been leveling off for more than a month.

My county is currently holding at 13 deaths total since March. That's it. What's interesting is that the local media is dodging on reporting hospitalizations. They've been reporting them in neighboring counties, but not here. They're yapping about hospitals filling up, but won't report any proof of it.
