@TexasDSHS About the data:

These numbers come from @TexasDSHS, which updates statewide case counts at noon each day.

They are current as of 8 p.m. the previous day, so they may lag behind other local news reports. bit.ly/3epFnJ2
@TexasDSHS The data may not represent all cases of the #coronavirus given limited testing in the state. bit.ly/3epFnJ2

Thread: Some Texans haven’t just had trouble getting through to file for unemployment relief after losing jobs due to the #COVID19 pandemic.

They’ve also had trouble applying to prevent their utilities from being shut off. bit.ly/2KbTCmW Quote graphic reading:
2/ Texas utility regulators have implemented policies to prevent people whose incomes have been slashed from having their utilities cut off during a public health crisis. bit.ly/2KbTCmW
3/ But some Texans are falling through the cracks of a complicated bureaucracy and a patchwork system of utility regulation.

Although some counties have moratoriums on disconnections, customers in most of Texas need to apply for the benefit. bit.ly/2KbTCmW

The executive orders include loosening restrictions on nonessential surgeries, retail stores and state parks.

@GovAbbott 2/ Abbott said retail stores can begin offering product pickup — or "retail-to-go” — on April 24.

Outlets can start bringing orders to customers' cars similarly to how some restaurants offer curbside pickup.

3/ Nonessential surgeries can begin starting April 22 if they don’t deplete medical resources.

Hospitals must also keep at least 25% of its capacity available for patients with COVID-19.

The emerging national picture shows black Americans disproportionately getting sick and dying from COVID-19.

The trend may be playing out in Texas' black and Hispanic communities, but information released by the state is notably incomplete. bit.ly/2ViKX8k Black text quote by Benjamin King, an epidemiologist and research scientist at Dell Medical School, on a yellow background reads: With all the dialogue around health disparities today — and for the past decades, really — it’s a shame to see that a stronger emphasis isn’t being made to ensure that data is being properly collected.
2/ As part of epidemiological investigations, @TexasDSHS and local officials are collecting some race and ethnicity data for people who have died from or tested positive for the virus. bit.ly/2ViKX8k
3/ But state leaders acknowledge that the demographic data is lacking, and have indicated the state won't be taking steps to mandate reporting to fill in the gaps. bit.ly/2ViKX8k
