New TX cases didn’t quite reach the 10k mark today so that’s a teeny weeny bit of good news.
New Braunsfels Wurstfest is cancelled.
San Antonio mayor told people, in Spanish, to stay home and don’t go to friends.
San Antonio’s Metropolitan Health District is unable to get a solid number of active and recovered COVID-19 cases because some residents have stopped responding to calls.
Recently, Mayor Ron Nirenberg has been adding “estimates” for active cases and recoveries in his nightly dispatch of local coronavirus news.
Must read on organ damages.
(I should be saying this on a “flubro” thread but...)
More important than masks in preventing the spread of this is shoes.
No one will track mud into their house but most people will track the virus in!
Wearing a mask in crowded area is helpful IMO, but disinfecting your shoes afterwards, or leaving them outside, is crucial IMO.

Tennessee sees highest single-day death toll and hospitalizations yet
Well, I don’t think spraying the outdoors is efficient at all.
But IMO shoes are spreading the virus to their homes despite the best efforts of many- thanks to the media.
And I want to thank you again for your efforts to provide ‘good’ info on the virus.
Not easy to do.
“Vietnam may not have been “immunologically naive,” because something resembling SARS-COV-2 might have been circulating for years.”
Interesting, maybe something similar to the case: small pox and cow pox.
But I don’t see it.
The Wuhan virus was “novel” IMO.
Vietnam’s success is the result of doubting China and preparing for the worse.
