What happened to COVID Deaths in Texas?

Compare to CA, FL, and NY, there is a huge gap in Texas deaths reported on these two webites:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us

Worldometers.info has the following deaths as of yesterday:

CA - 10,313
FL - 8,109
NY - 32,831
TX - 8,510

The Johns Hopkins (JHU) website (arcgis.com) has the following deaths:

CA - 10,316
FL - 8,186
NY - 32,773
TX - 9,070

The other three states differ by 3 (CA), 77 (FL), and 58 (NY)

But Texas differs by 560. WTF?

It is not clear if the JHU numbers are for today or yesterday - which may explain the relatively small differences between the other three states.

But the TX numbers have differed by about 500+ for several days now. What is going on?

In either case, it is pretty clear that TX shot right past FL in the last couple of weeks and is closing in quickly on CA numbers.

And your point about the 80 year olds is what, exactly?

Because that is true of every state. So it's a wash.

Texas is performing far worse compared to CA than we were a month ago. And not just in total cases or cases per million.

TX is doing worse in deaths per million - the all important category.

I guess we have more obese people than CA.

Going away fast even with the LSM counting everything probable
