Among the children who tested positive was a baby boy under six months old, who died from the infection...It is not known how the children are suspected to have become infected and an update on their condition was not given...KIITV also reported that another child under the age of one who tested positive for coronavirus died at home from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Officials did not know if the death was related...Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is stressing that the widespread use of face coverings could avoid another lockdown, which he hasn't ruled out as cases in the state continue to mount.

The death requires more info

I know a NICU nurse who says every new born they’ve had has tested positive at birth then when retested two days later are negative. Somethings up with that

Here in San Diego, with the busiest port of entry on the Mexican border, 2/3 of the surge cases are Hispanics. It’s no accident border/sunshine U.S. states are experiencing an explosion of cases as Mexico’s pandemic hits strongly in its northern regions. It’s what the Leftist media lapdogs won’t report. How many of the babies in Texas with the virus are Mexican anchor babies? Inquiring minds want to know.

Day after day it continues to be verified that the tests are not accurate they have not been from the beginning and they are not now.

this is a false and manufactured crisis.

You know that people are having flu hysteria fatigue when my niece,who was a stone cold liberal who lives in West Hollywood, wants Newsome and Garcetti assassinated. She wants to get a gun and join a militia and vote Republican. I’ve been stunned and pleased at her transformation. She says that a lot of her friends feel the same way. This is just one anecdotal story but hopefully it portends a trend for the election. I’m advising her carefully and helping her get the right sized gun. .32 auto possibly.

Hide your children. Run for the caves, or we soon will all be dead!( sarc.)

What a bunch of weird!

The media is in PANIC mode.Whatever they are doing in their sordid plans is not working IMHO.

Herd immunity, a phenomenon not far from us all.And no I won't cure Covid 19 through politics and fear mongering.Do the forensics.

De-politicize the illness, and lets make unity the standard against which all media treason is judged.

The media have gone completely alarmist goobers:

PANIC EVERYONE, PANIC!

85 cases and 1 death? Is that supposed to scare us? Need the rest of the story. How many are illegals and what underlying conditions did the 6 month old have?

Im sure these cases are not American citizens but illegal aliens. Putting a label “texas county” on it is a way to decieve.

Good for her. The stupid just rolls on day after day.

One child under the age of one has died. That child was brought to the hospital with unrelated symptoms and tested for COVID-19 while at the hospital. Annette Rodriguez said the child later died at home from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or SIDS. Officials said they don't know if the coronavirus was the cause but an autopsy is being conducted to determine the exact cause of death.

IOW,this whole story is bullshit!

All lies. Some labs are returning 100% positives, and therefore NONE of the tests can be trusted. A carrot would test positive for the plandemic ChiCom virus. Just like the labs return 100% positives, I reject 100% of these plandemic lies.

I have documented this fake “story”, which was spread worldwide by CNN’s Faith Karimi and Raja Razek at the following, beginning with comment #2:

including the most important piece, which I could not open, except with outline.com:

18 Jul: KRIS6 TV Corpus Christi: Canales clarifies reports about local infant COVID numbers
by Tim Griffin
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — As news about 85 infants testing positive in Nueces County went viral as a national news story, County Judge Barbara Canales made a statement that attempted to provide additional clarification on the report.

Several national news organizations have reported about Nueces County after City County Health Director Annette Rodriguez mentioned at a press briefing on Friday that 85 babies were diagnosed with COVID-19 in Nueces County.

“On Friday, July 17, during a press conference, a spokesperson mentioned that 85 infants under the age of one had tested positive for coronavirus,” Canales said in a statement released Saturday afternoon. “This number reflects the cumulative total of positive tests for infants under the age of 1 since the beginning of testing in mid-March, which has resulted in 8171 positive test results.”

“For context, the spokesperson was using that statistic to illustrate that no one is naturally immune to this virus. While the elderly and those with existing medical conditions are at greater risk of illness and death, anyone can get the virus, from the elderly to infants, and without regard to race, gender, or economic status. The number was used to illustrate this point.”

Canales’ statement was meant to indicate the total number of infants who have tested positive throughout the pandemic.
“However, without this context, stating this number during our press conference led many to believe that we had a sudden surge in infants under the age of one testing positive. We have NOT had a sudden surge of 85 infants testing positive.”...

“Nueces County has been aggressive in testing the family members of those infected, especially those who work or live in high-risk situations: senior care centers, jails, group homes and halfway houses, and meatpacking plants,” Canales said. “By contact tracing and testing the immediate family members for those with known exposure who work in high-risk critical infrastructure jobs, this may account for our higher degree of testing and positive test results among infants.”

One child has died in Nueces County during the pandemic. That person was brought to the hospital with unrelated symptoms and tested for COVID-19 while at the hospital. The child later died at home.

The cause of death for that child still has not been determined, pending an autopsy.

the fake CNN reporting was carried by multiple media outlets and was designed to give the impression the 85 babies tested positive yesterday.

My guess is, after testing positive, the baby was forced to wear a mask some how... sad if true, but the child was taken to the hospital for something else and tested positive there...

You can be infected, but not ill. This is precisely why you keep the schools open during a pandemic, as the kids will advance herd immunity. The kids can infect the adults.
