According to the most recent data from the CDC, a month ago there were 279 cases in the US. Despite efforts to have people self quarantine and mandated closures, in the span of 30 days cases in the US have exploded to 375,000. With 12,000 deaths that's 3% mortality rate. Not 1% as some keep stating. That number continues to climb daily at the rate of 5-10% and not showing signs of slowing. Hospitals are overrun so much that decisions need to be made about who to save and who to let die. There are so many dead bodies that refrigerated trucks are needed at hospitals to store the corpses. This is not fear mongering, this is actually happening. While I agree that this is a wrecking ball through the economy, not just US but globally, are we to walk over dead bodies so we can eat at restaurants and shop? And it's not just TX, it's not just the US, this a global pandemic. Sure it's awful no matter which way you slice it, but I have seen a callous and morally bankrupt side of our fellow man that is rather disgusting. Anyone could be a carrier, and anyone could infect someone at risk and kill them. But selfishness and greed still prevail.
