You really shouldn't be using Texas as an example, because Texas is a prime example of how the bulk of the new cases are shifting to states and countries that didn't originally rank at the top.

People are having discussions and making pronouncements as though the epidemic is over, or at least no longer rapidly evolving and can be judged in retrospect.

States that had more new cases the other day than NY or NJ:

California, Texas, North Carolina, Illinois, Arizona...

There are about fifty countries with more new cases recently than Italy. Do you think those countries are all really cold or something?
