Next Week Will 'Look Worse' In Texas

“As Texas on Thursday set single-day records for deaths from coronavirus and how many people the disease has put in the hospital, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was bracing for even more bad news,” the Dallas Morning News reports.

Said Abbott: “The numbers are going to look worse as we go into next week.”

If things are exceptionally gruesome at the end of July, wait until the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's holiday season when people spend most of their time indoors, not that July in Texas doesn't also compel most people to spend time indoors.
