Really??? The County has performed 2,113 COVID-19 tests in the community and 223 at BNRC. 2,113 tests for a 35,000 plus county! No one knows what the coronavirus infection rate is for Brenham / Washington County because there have not been sufficient testing done to achieve an intelligent conclusion. For the love of money, no one representing government wants to know the infection rate. Not to worry. Dead people do not shop!
More people will die this year from the regular flu than this stronger covid flu.
In the end, this wil pass.
If you need to stay home, or wear a mask, then by all means do so.
Just try and stay calm.
It will be alright.
