2. I just blogged about this last week. Texas publishes test numbers per county...

I don't think they are honest about it, but...

I spent hours last week combing over the numbers.

There are dozens of counties who haven't even preformed one test. The combined population is over 80k.

Then there are areas like the panhandle and East Texas who have had limited access to tests, and the few tests theyv are doing, they are getting back over 40% positive.

Texas prisons have some less than 1,000 tests on all of their 165K inmates, of which 65% are testing positive.

In top of that, there are a lot of people who have tested positive who the state isn't counting. Like in Anderson county, they've had almost 300 cares, yet the state is reporting 10.

The situation is really fucking bad.
