Now you’re being ignorant. Texas rates are so low because we are not testing. I live in Austin and we are only performing 20-30 tests a day. Of course the available data doesn’t reflect the real numbers.

I would honestly ignore the case rates for the reason you stated. What if you had 500,000 tests tomorrow and discovered 30,000 people who didn't even know they had it? What does that really tell you?

Fatality rates are what people should focus on. Is Texas's fatality rates doubling every three days, or is it staying steady, or going down?

Europe is already having trouble with fruit production. Fruit is rotting because seasonal pickers can't work. If we loose food sources, a lot more people are going to die than from COVID-19.

The Texas curve is ramping up like every other state.

There are no low infection states- just states that are a week or two behind the states that got hit first.

It's crazy: All we've been hearing from politicians for months is how the virus's spread is affected by political borders. "It only spreads in China!" "It only spreads in China, Iran and Italy!" "It only spreads in China and Europe!" "It's only a problem in Washington State!" "I mean Washington and California!" "Oh, New Yorkers need to worry about it too, but nobody else!"

Turns out viruses don't care about lines on a map. Who knew?
