Please be advised that the @CDCgov covid tracker trend data on #COVID19 by age in Texas are WRONG. CDC draws case data from their case line data file, and TX has reported age on only 3% of total cases.

@CDCgov should remove this highly inaccurate graphic from their website.

We don’t expect the IT guys contracted by @CDCgov to run their website to understand these problems.

This is UNACCEPTABLE.
