Texas cases of COVID-19 increasing by thousands since reopening
Source: ABC News
Texas has seen a steady rise in novel coronavirus cases and fatalities since reopening just over two weeks ago.
There are now 45,198 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. That is an increase of 1,347 cases from Thursday to Friday. The new numbers have not yet been recorded for Saturday. Last Friday, the daily case increase was 1,219.
While the cases are still well below New York, the state with the most confirmed cases at more than 345,000, the steady increase shows that the curve has not yet flattened in Texas.
The state also experienced its highest and second-highest daily death toll just a day apart. On Thursday, 58 deaths were recorded in 24 hours and Friday that number dropped only slightly to 56, according to the health department. The total number of fatalities is at 1,272.

I think Republicans will pivot from blaming China to blaming New York or justifying growing death tolls on the ground that "it is still lower than New York."

Welcome to DU! 
Only scared snowflakes wear masks or stay home. Way to own the libs!
It gets even dumber when they claim any new vaccine that comes out for COVID-19 is a globalist deep state plot to ruin their lives so they will use armed resistance to avoid getting vaccinated. They'll take whatever treatment their dumbass president recommends on tv.
