New: Brazoria County is reporting its first two cases of the coronavirus in what is possibly the third instance of community spread in the state. #coronavirus #COVID19 bit.ly/39QvX6N
The individuals, who reside in the same household in Alvin, self-reported after attending the Houston Rodeo cook-off and livestock show and have not traveled outside the Houston area. bit.ly/39QvX6N
The absence of travel suggests community spread, but official confirmation is pending investigation.

Both Dallas and Montgomery counties reported community spread earlier this week. bit.ly/39QvX6N
Reminder: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines community spread as the “occurrence of cases for which the source of infection is unknown.” bit.ly/38RgL82

1/ This why we are all social distancing: To protect the ill and immunocompromised.

What might be a cold or bronchitis for a healthy person can turn into walking pneumonia for others.

What makes one person sick can kill someone else.

2/ For Texans with compromised immune systems — or those with sick loved ones — the precautions being taken in the face of the new coronavirus are high stakes, and in some cases extreme. bit.ly/2IVnUti #coronavirus #covid19 #covid_19
3/ Shannon Huehlefeld is not letting anyone in or out of her home. She was spraying her mail with Lysol. She bought a UVC bulb that can sterilize a surface in 30 minutes.

Her husband is 63 and diabetic. He has a history of lung issues and pneumonia. bit.ly/2IVnUti

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Texas has reached 68 as of noon today.

Four counties are now reporting community spread: Brazoria, Dallas, Matagorda and Montgomery. #coronavirus #COVID19 bit.ly/2INGBz5
In case you're wondering what "community spread" means, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines it as the “occurrence of cases for which the source of infection is unknown.” bit.ly/38RgL82
It's worth noting that there are likely more unconfirmed cases, given that there are examples of community spread and limited testing capacity.

@govabbott said Friday that the state was on the verge of being able to significantly ramp up testing. bit.ly/33jwgo4

#COVID19 continues popping up throughout Texas and at least 62 people have now tested positive, according to the latest statewide figures released Saturday. 

Here are some of the takeaways to know from today’s @TexasDSHS data ⬇️ bit.ly/33p1YAj
There are cases in each of the state’s five largest urban areas, though the virus has now also appeared in counties spanning from East Texas to the Gulf Coast. bit.ly/33p1YAj
The data show that cases aren’t limited to urban areas.

There are seven confirmed cases in Smith and Gregg counties in East Texas, more than the combined number of cases so far in Bexar County, Travis County and El Paso County. bit.ly/33p1YAj

A thread on why I am not panicking about #Coronavirus #COVID-19.
In 2003, the world experienced an outbreak of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). I was in med school. Initially, the illness seemed to be linked with travel to China, but the Chinese government was not saying anything about it.
The cause of SARS was completely unknown, and it was five months between the illness first appearing and the World Health Organization (WHO) becoming significantly involved, alerting public health authorities around the world.

Information suppression by authoritarian regimes should come as no surprise.

So why did the international community (and the WHO) take China at its word in regards to the spread of the coronavirus? THREAD

bit.ly/coronavirus-ccp
Early coverage of the crisis made clear that the CCP’s authoritarian instincts and internal climate of fear were a direct threat to global health. But on Jan 23, WHO members praised the CCP for its “transparency.”
At @HRF we find it obvious that the CCP isn’t telling the public the full story. How can anyone trust the CCP’s “official” data, given its long history of censorship?
