SPECIAL NOTE ON TEXAS
1/9

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.
SPECIAL NOTE ON TEXAS
2/9

CDC graphic is inadequately footnoted and does not disclose the very low case count behind their trend chart.

Their chart displays no new cases in TX in past 4 months!

@CDCgov should remove this highly inaccurate graphic from their website.
SPECIAL NOTE ON TEXAS
3/9

COVKID Project estimates child/teen cases in TX every week using total cases from TX dashboard, and % child/teen from Harris County. Thank you @hcphtx for doing the job your state health dept has neglected! 🙏🏽
