What happened to COVID Deaths in Texas?

Like 4 weeks ago there was 2000 CV19 deaths in Texas and 240 deaths in Harris county. Today there are 7500 deaths in Texas and 1400 deaths in Harris County.

That's after months of mandatory masks and social distancing.

I don't believe it. Did they go back and revise the numbers? Are they counting deaths "differently?" We've been under a mandatory mask and social distancing order for months. If masks were so effective, why haven't deaths stalled or nearly stalled?

Looking at the age demographics in TX the death count is suspicious Again, most deaths are 65 and above.

Listening to Mayor Turner yesterday was an exercise in Political Correctness. "The Hispanic community has been disproportionally affected." So? Maybe there's more older hispanics in Houston. Maybe some hispanics were brought up here from MX since we have world class healthcare. Maybe the hispanics are being proportionally affected but Turner wants to focus panic.

Anybody hear anything in TX around COVID? None of my friends have come down with it, much less died.

I found out that there had been 22 deaths in one county and 7 in the other. Where do you get the lies that you post?

Scroll down the page to view the total deaths in Texas.

We passed 2000 in early June - NOT 4 weeks ago - and deaths have been rising exponentially over the last month - from 2972 on July 4 to about 7880 now.

And I know of two people that have had it - one of them was as sick as a dog for about 2 weeks - white guy about 50 and in good physical shape.

Total active cases and daily new cases in Texas appear to have leveled off over the last 2 weeks. So masking and social distancing WORK.

But deaths lag by about two weeks, so that is why deaths keep going up.

Your description that we have been wearing masks and social distancing "for months" is deliberately misleading. The initial masking in March and April was barely adequate to flatten the curve. And then TX reopened with FAR too many active cases. The result? Cases exploded. We have finally gone back to a serious lockdown with widespread mandatory masks in private businesses only in the last month. And the curve appears to be flattening. But it will take another 4-8 weeks to get the new cases down below 500 per day.

Whatever advantages we had over CA and FL in the early days is GONE. Our death rate is now higher than CA. Look as the deaths per million in this chart:

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

CA has 250 deaths per million. TX has 272. FL has 361.

DPST's and LSM are very disappointed at the dropping death rates - particularly in 'red' states - they want thousands and thousands more death to be able to flip the election in Nov.

so they can then institute a 'No care for Nobody ' plan nationwide.

But deaths lag by about two weeks, so that is why deaths keep going up. I thought you were in NY Stewie. We've been wearing mask consistently for months. It should have leveled off at least a month ago.

As of July 27, 2020, DSHS is reporting COVID-19 fatality data based on death certificates. A fatality is counted as a COVID-19 fatality when the medical certifier attests on the death certificate that COVID-19 is a cause of death.

This change means fatalities may be counted sooner and demographic data will be more comprehensive. Also, fatalities can now be displayed by date of death, presenting a more complete view of deaths over time. Fatalities are reported by county of residence.

Yesterday Mayor Turner said that a death would be counted as a Covid19 if it was a comorbidity which means a positive test.

Here's something else:
texastribune.org/2020/07/27/texas-coronavirus-deaths/

Correction: On July 30, the state said an “automation error” caused approximately 225 deaths to be incorrectly added to the overall death count; a subsequent quality check by Department of State Health Services epidemiologists revealed COVID-19 was not the direct cause of death in these cases. We updated the cumulative numbers for July 27-29 to account for this error.

After months of undercounting coronavirus deaths, Texas’ formal tally of COVID-19 fatalities grew by more than 400 on Monday after state health officials changed their method of reporting.

The revised count indicates that more than 8% of the state’s death tally was unreported by state health officials before Monday.

And NO, Texas has NOT been wearing masks consistently for months, you simpleton. I've got eyes and I have been in Dallas, Austin, and Houston since this thing began. And mask wearing was haphazard at best prior to reopening and for another month after that. And the suburbs and rural areas were the worst.

It wasn't until things started turning to shit in July that Texans faced reality and started wearing masks consistently. And it isn't necessarily because people got smart and voluntarily complied. The stores and office buildings left them with NO choice. Now if you don't have a mask, you cannot get service.

I had doctor visits in April and in August and even the medical professionals are a lot tougher now than they were in April.

And going back to your implied conspiracy theory that COVID is a hoax, read this:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/06/healt...day/index.html

Looks like we might have 300K dead by December 1st. That will be a great Thanksgiving, won't it?

If it comes true, that's 300K dead in 9 months - basically the start of March to the end of November. I personally think we will hit over 500K by next summer if we don't get a vaccine or a 90% effective treatment.

Do you still think this is just like the flu and we should reopen everything? And stop wearing masks?

Where on earth did you get that "fact"?

NY and NJ don't even have 2/3rds of US deaths at this point.
