I thought this was about Cozumel.
I thought this was about HARRIS COUNTY. (I understand Houston is somewhat bulbous and difficult to define).
Well, I got that quote from a video interview from the mayor, but there are so very many recent news stories that I really cannot find it right now. It's a rapidly changing story too so difficult to keep up with. This was posted today: More than 1,000 new COVID-19 cases, 5 new deaths reported in HoustonAs of July 5 Harris county had 342,489 tested per the Texas Health and Human Services website,
with 36,597 cases and a population of 6,371,000.
Any way you look at the numbers it is nowhere near 25%.
This is where so much false information is spread.
In Houston, the percentage of tests for the virus coming back positive has risen to nearly 25%. Turner said that people of color were being disproportionately impacted, particularly Hispanic residents.
Well, Houston is a huge city with city limits, the original Texas swampland swindle by the Allen brothers but discussions often get confusing when facts from Houston Metro area and Harris county are mixed in. BTW, a County Judge in Texas is primarily the chief administrator.I thought this was about HARRIS COUNTY. (I understand Houston is somewhat bulbous and difficult to define).
Yeah, sorry about that. I offered that as a comparison, but fear that I derailed the thread.I thought this was about Cozumel.
Well, my fear does exist even if the risk does not, but who knows with borders, airlines in chaos, etc.I think a fear of the Mexico / US border via air closing is non existent, besides, being a US citizen will open that door.
Did someone claim that Houston is 25% infected? I didn't see that, and of course it isn't.You can get several different numbers from different websites, the US Census lists Harris County with a population of 4,713,325 as of July 2019 the Macrotrends has it at 6,371,000 for 2020. It still is nowhere near 25% infection!
It was a quote from Mayor Sylvester Turner. Excerpting from Coronavirus on track to overwhelm Houston hospitals in two weeks, mayor saysDid someone claim that Houston is 25% infected? I didn't see that, and of course it isn't.

Excerpted incorrectly. He said that test results have risen to nearly 25% positive. That's very different.It was a quote from Mayor Sylvester Turner. Excerpting from Coronavirus on track to overwhelm Houston hospitals in two weeks, mayor says
