At least, that’s according to a doctor and Baylor College (emphasis added):
If Harris County continues on the same new case trajectory as it is on at present, Houston could become the worst affected city in the U.S., according to nationally recognized infectious disease expert, Dr. Peter Hotez of the Baylor College of Medicine.
In a recent tweet, he argued that Houston’s situation could rival Brazil’s:
I’ve been tracking the data on the Texas Medical Center’s website. The situation is quickly becoming severe:
The number of new cases is rising. The pace of the increase is starting to rise, which is ….
… leading to higher ICU occupancy, which is …

Last week, I went for a regular blood draw and asked my doctor what he thought about the response (we were both wearing masks). He said Trump and Gov. Abbott are doing everything they can to make sure this is with us for at least two years.
Remember when competency existed in government? Yeah, we’re not there anymore.
