This is a quick look at varying statistics on the Wuhan coronavirus in one single county in Texas, and why reliable statistics on the coronavirus outbreak are so hard to come by.
Walker County, Texas is a little over an hour’s drive north of Houston, and is home to the state’s main prison complex in Huntsville, including the execution unit.
However, when you go to the website for Walker County itself, it shows precisely 223 listed cases, which it breaks down as “233 reported – 8 duplicates – 2 not county residents.” Indeed it breaks down those number into individual cases, anonymized into case numbers, sex, and age range.
Moreover, it says that 113 cases have “graduated out” (which I take to mean they’ve had it long enough to be considered recovered and not infectious), meaning there are only 110 active cases, which suggests that (depending on the culling boundary for graduated cases), the state statistics are off by a factor of 5 to 10 times compared to county statistics.
The county statistics also break down overall statistics, presumably since they began tracking the pandemic:

I happen to reside in Walker County and can tell you with some certainty that there are nowhere near the number of active cases being reported in this county.
We will never again be truly FREE people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist Income Tax Code and the IRS!
I'm sick of the "spike" stories from the enemedis. There are two big reasons there are more cases. One, people who have been huddling in their homes have weakened their immune systems and now they are getting sick. Two, people wo are wearing masks are making themselves ill by rebreathing CO2 and their own flora.
Wearing a mask to stop a virus is like putting up a chain-link fence to stop mosquitos. Psychological pacifier for the fearful.
