Then why is the mortality rate and hospitalization rate Falling????????????????????????????????? It’s almost as if it might be comparable to Influenza.

And weird the cases are going up after ‘mandatory masking’. It’s almost as if that has no effect.

Daily deaths are really up but the numbers are still low enough to be anecdotal.

Go to the graphs.

Interestingly, this doesn’t reflect what is happening in other states at all, with or without protests. Something weird is going on down there, just like NY and NJ in the beginning.

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

Hopitals in TX are maxing out. Since June 1, hosptializations have increased 400%. Houston, San Antonio and Austin have been prepping their coliseums for hospital overflow. Along the border, they're pitching tents and looking to use hotels and portable school buildings.

Houston has requested refrigerator trucks from Georgia. I know that directly from a friend who's company was contacted.

Nurses are being sent in from out of state. Private clinic nurses (including my neighbor) has been pulled off their regular jobs to be trained for CV at hospitals.

A nearby hospital has moved it's labor and delivery to another hospital to make rooms for the virus.

McAllen, TX pharmacies haven't been able to get oxygen concentrators for 2 months. Hundreds of their customers needing oxygen are out of luck. <

In my county, we didn't have any deaths from CV until after the state reopened.
