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.

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

Because it doesn't

Hopeful development of the day: This tweet that came out a few minutes ago from PDJT:

I disagree with @CDCgov on their very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools. While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things. I will be meeting with them!!!

Maybe he’s FINALLY had enough of being led around by the nose by politicized doctors and is about to take the bull by the horns.

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?

I’ve also read read that if some chronically ill person gets tested 4x and shows up positive each time - that counts as “Four new Coronavirus cases!”

Absolutely. Lets take a simple case. Person goes to a free testing site and comes up positive. The next move is to go see your doctor. They test and you come up positive. Bingo, you are now two covid cases. Then lets say you go get a second opinion at another doctor, you are now three cases.

For perspective, here is CDC data on all deaths, all causes, by age group:

I really think this is all part of a push by the globalists to seize control. The virus, the riots, all of it. I think they’re getting desperate to enact their plan.

More cases = more herd immunity. A good thing.

10,000 cases/day in a state with 30 million people? I’d call it a good start! 2,700 dead out of 30 million since this first began beats the vast majority of states and countries. But one cannot prevent a virus from spreading if people are working, so....a good start.

A lot of people don’t use the masks correctly.

PDJT has tweeted about this 5 times in the past 2 days.
I think Operation Pushback is beginning.

Fauci undermined him yet again yesterday and needs to be fired.

That stat has yet to be filled in. The day isn’t over yet. At the top of the chart, there is a “yesterday” tab. Click on that to see the total that matches what is in the graph.

We’ve all been very deceived, and the only people trying to get the truth out get their information taken down almost as fast as they can put it up. It’s almost like there are entities that are dedicated to the destruction of freedom and use all their time to stamp out truth. Oh wait, that’s exactly what’s happening.

Re: “What’s the mortality rate?”

So far, less than the influenza fatality rate in 2018.

Texas - 2018 - Influenza Fatalities - 3,516

Texas - 2020 - COVID-19 Fatalities - 2,778

No one ever said a word about the influenza holocaust in 2018.

Actually, if Texas counted influenza deaths the same way they count COVID-19 deaths, the influenza death toll would have been at least 10,000 in 2018.

Bottom Line...

Protect the elderly and the infirm.

For the rest of us, COVID-19 at its worst is just a severe common cold.

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

...doctors were not to ask any of new cases if they had been involved in protests.

That policy all by itself shows the utter politicization of the corona “crisis”.

I cut slits in my free costco mask. I can now breathe on the rare occasions I actually use it and nobody complains.

It’s got a couple of coffee stains and is starting to look a bit ratty, but that’s part of the charm of the mask. ;)
