How many of those 14,478 deaths were people with pre-existing conditions/comorbidities? If you use CDC’s 6% figure it’s a sliver of what you post!Current death toll in Texas: 14,478 Current population of Texas: 29M
Covid Rate of death = 14478/29000000 = .000499=.04% Seems like the odds are pretty good to open up the state.

My aunt had health problems and got Covid last month and caused her to get pneumonia and they had to pull the plug on her yesterday. Her family has hereditary immune deficiency.
