1/ Texas had tested about 1,700 symptomatic inmates for the coronavirus — about 1% of the state’s prison population.

More than 70% of them have tested positive.

That’s a staggeringly high rate compared to the state overall. bit.ly/2YtdaeV
2/ Within the walls of Texas prisons overrun with the new coronavirus, information on its spread is still scarce, and the people locked up and working inside are terrified.

Prisons and jails are home to many of the country’s largest outbreaks nationally. bit.ly/2YtdaeV
3/ In the massive Beto Unit, hundreds of inmates and dozens of employees have tested positive.

Prisoners have been largely locked in their cells or dormitories for weeks.

But more men are becoming infected. bit.ly/2YtdaeV

1/ In Texas, a volunteer air force of more than 1,000 amateur aviators has come together to transport essential medical supplies to far-flung cities.

Some places are just easier to reach from the sky.

Also, it’s more fun. bit.ly/3bSy3E5
2/ As health care workers across the country combat the new coronavirus, it has been particularly difficult for small and rural hospitals to compete for the protective equipment they need.

So, these volunteer worked out a solution. bit.ly/3bSy3E5
3/ A group of West Texas businesses and Texas Tech University employees came together to design and manufacture medical equipment like face shields and deliver it for free to the most remote pockets of the state. bit.ly/3bSy3E5
