NEW: Dallas County Reports 245 New Positive 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases and 13 Deaths,
Including 126 Probable Cases
Today we report 245 new cases and 13 deaths. Our numbers today are artificially low due to the cold weather disrupting reporting processes. The overall trend though over the last two weeks has been very positive in that cases are declining.
Things are extremely difficult right now for everyone and social distancing may not be possible in some situations where families are taking in others.
It is very important in these situations to use as much spacing as possible, wear your mask, wash your hands, and do all that you can to avoid the spread of COVID during this unprecedented weather emergency.

Here’s three other counties in North Texas-

Hill...234; Jack...243; Navarro...1,751 ( these numbers as of 10:55AM)
Generation is stubbornly staying at 47k Megawatts. It reached 50k yesterday but then declined. The problems stem from two main sources: A lack of winterization packages on generator plants and units and a lack of gas line modernization being required by state leadership.

Just had call with Oncor’s CEO and senior leadership. The power generation increase @ERCOT_ISO forecast for last night didn’t happen. During our call ERCOT demanded an additional 500 megawatts be pulled from transmission bringing the up to the minute total to 18,500 shed...
280k customers in @DallasCountyTx without power. @oncor reports they were able to cycle most customers with extended outages on for roughly 30 minutes an average of three times last night but many didn’t get that. Transformers are breaking and where that is happening....
Power won’t come on. That adds to the complexity of the problem. Transformer issues are increasing but not yet widespread. I believe the main problem is a lack of generation as plants and turbines that weren’t required to winterize continue to be offline.

The situation with @ERCOT_ISO is very serious and unprecedented. If your conservation efforts and rolling blackouts are not successful,control of the grid could be lost. @oncor is working closely with my office and emergency managers...:
At this time, @oncor cannot guarantee a maximum amount of time your power may be out. I have advised them that,to the fullest extent possible, neighborhoods should be cycled so we all share in the loss of power so as to lessen the time any neighborhood is without power.
In the power industry you have Peaker Plants. Peaker Plants are older,expensive and inefficient. They operate when there is extreme need. Some have come online, others are about to. We are working hard with @oncor to get your power back on and limit the time of rolling blackouts.

.@ERCOT_ISO @oncor and I are requesting everyone to reduce electric use as much as possible now through Tuesday. The state is experiencing record-breaking electric demand due to the extreme temperatures and higher-than-normal generation outages due to frozen wind turbines...
and limited natural gas supplies available to generating facilities.
Here is how we can all do our part to avoid brown outs:
· Turn down thermostats to 68-degrees.
· Close shades and blinds to reduce the amount of heat lost through windows.
·...
· Turn off and unplug non-essential lights and appliances.
· Avoid using large appliances (i.e., ovens, washing machines, etc.).
· Businesses should minimize the use of electric lighting and electricity-consuming equipment as much as possible....

This week we end with a significant decrease in the average daily number of new COVID cases, down from 1,388 to 990. We report an additional eight deaths today, making this the second deadliest week of the pandemic response.

Today we report 1,637 new COVID cases and 37 deaths, our second highest one-day total of deaths reported.
Now is a time that we all must make small sacrifices to keep our community and our country strong at this time of unprecedented high spread and while we await the herd immunity that will come from the vast majority of the population being inoculated.
