It’s a Mexican child. No less a tragedy, but it’s a Mexican’s death on USA soil - it’s more accurately part of the Mexican death toll.

I don't know how they tally these stats, but to be relevant, I'd say it should only count as a US death if the person got the disease here. Getting it elsewhere and coming here and dying shouldn't add to our number - although it will certain increase the number of case we have. OR an American getting the disease in another country and dying there should be added to that country's number. We need to see what numbers are relevant to how fast the disease is spreading locally.

New Info:

This is 3rd hand info so believe what you will.

A friend of mine works with a hispanic lady that knows the family of the child that died. She said they LIVE in Houston and went to Mexico to visit family. The child got sick and they drove her here because they live here. They took the baby to Memorial Hermann and now the hospital is supposedly shut down. She wasn’t positive about the hospital. The woman that knows them told my friend exactly where they live. They are telling this other story (that they live there in Mexico) so they don’t get in trouble.

just FYI and of course I had no way of confirming the info, except I believe my friend...of course she could have been given false info.
