CORONAVIRUS INFO PROVIDED BY DR. JIM HARRIS – 11/02/2020

Judge Sims reports 9 new Covid cases in Harrison County today, Monday. Gregg County reports 4 confirmed cases, 17 probably for a total of 21 cases. Smith County reports 101 total cases –49 confirmed, 52 probable—and it’s not cold yet. Wear your masks.

Age Distribution of Smith County Cases:

J. Harris: Notice that most of the above  cases are >10 and < 70 years of age. Of course, most, but not all,  of these younger people will survive, and most, but not all, won’t have lingering or perpetual residual of their little old insignificant virus. I guess the dead and the buggered up victims just weren’t tough enough?
