Texas has reported their highest numbers of daily deaths over the last several days, but the reporting has strange. Hidalgo Co. reported zero deaths on Monday, but over 40 deaths on Tuesday. This was similar to Cameron County as well.....both are border counties and are not doing well. South TX including San Antonio and Corpus are more of the hot spots now....to go along with the border counties. As an example, Hidalgo County and Denton County (where I live) are both similar in population (appx 860k), but Hidalgo has 2.5 times the amount of positive cases as Denton County and 9 times the deaths of Denton County....yikes.
As I mentioned, deaths are up, but cases are trending down especially in the DFW metro area and Houston. As an example, Dallas County reported 648 new cases and 12 new deaths today. Although the new cases were slightly up from yesterday, they are significantly below the two preceding weeks. Of the 12 deaths, only one of those deaths was below 60 and that person had multiple, underlying health conditions.
