There it is, it's being reported on MSNBC, problems with testing in Houston.

I posted about the low number of cases in Texas yesterday. Something is not adding up in Republican led states. I do not believe the numbers coming from Texas and Florida.

The confirmed cases number is meaningless. For along time only people admitted were getting them.

The major population areas like Dallas are blue. The ambulances were running by my house in Dallas constantly for days after the shutdown. I rarely hear them now. I guess that means the hard shutdown is working.

I just look at the death count number.

A lot of the poor neighborhoods don’t have healthcare to refer them to testing.
