The City of San Angelo reported three new cases of COVID-19, bringing the total to 20 confirmed cases. The three new cases are all are women in their 40s. The Standard Times stated that none involved community spread. The city's website provided no information on cases 18, 19 and 20. The younger patient profile continued with sixteen of the first 20 cases in our community are under the age of 50.
San Angelo could see in a matter of weeks what other areas are experiencing. Cases in the United States are going up an order of magnitude every 8-9 days. Today the U.S. hit 300,000 cases. It hit 100,000 cases on March 26th,
This exponential growth should be concerning to area citizens. 20 could become 200 around Easter. 200 could be 2,000 by May Day.
Practice physical distancing, wear a mask out in public and pray for the safety of family, friends and neighbors.
Update 4-5-20: The City reported its 21st case today, a male in his 60's who got the disease from a known COVID-19 patient.
