I’ve seen lots of comments about the low COVID19 fatality rate in Texas. Although 2% seems low, it’s relatively high compared to other causes of death in Texas. If we stay on our trajectory, COVID19 will be the 7th leading cause of death in Texas this year. COVID19 would average 20 deaths per day compared to, for example, stroke that caused 30 deaths per day in Texas in 2019. This is impressive considering stroke and diabetes and heart disease take YEARS to develop. COVID19 has only been around for 109 days and is contagious.
