San Angelo Mayor Brenda Gunter stressed the serious outbreak of COVID-19 in West Texas and the impact on Shannon Medical Center. Tom Green County Judge Steve Floyd could not attend the meeting as he'd been exposed to someone who tested positive.
Had 61 people been murdered in the Concho Valley in November citizens would be in an uproar. That's how many people died of COVID-19 last month.
Deaths continue at a rapid pace for December, eight patients in three days. It's long past time for everyone to do their part. Yet, that's the message local leaders continue to give. Lives depend on citizens wearing masks, social distancing and frequently washing hands until a vaccine can be administered in sufficient numbers to protect our population.
Update 12-4-20: The City reported five more COVID-19 deaths today.
Update 12-7-20: One week into the month and our community has had 20 COVID-19 deaths. This is the emergency folks.
Update 12-9-20: The Rodeo has been postponed until April, however the Livestock Show will remain as scheduled in February. Local leaders were present for announcement, roughly elbow to elbow.
