Including 161 Probable Cases
Including 161 Probable Cases
Today, for the second day in a row, Dallas County reports under 1,000 new COVID cases but I caution because these numbers appear to still be low due to lower than expected numbers from the state’s electronic laboratory reporting system.
Today we also have the grim task of reporting 17 deaths ranging in age from a post-partum mother in her 30’s to persons in their 80’s. For the CDC week ending November 7, our average daily case count is above 1,000, up almost 300 cases more from the week before.
I am pleased with what I’m seeing on flash polls on the news and as I talk to people, that they are getting the message to strengthen their resolve and limit their contacts with people outside the home.
I know we can do this North Texas. We did it during the ‘Safer at Home’ order in March & April. We did it again in July as wearing masks became a part of our daily routine...
...and we can do it again now to keep our families, our communities, and our economy secure until the vaccine is readily available.
