Trump not worried about contracting coronavirus at rallies

President Trump said he is not concerned about getting coronavirus at indoor campaign rallies because he speaks from a stage “very far away” from attendees.
“I’m on a stage that’s very far away, and so I’m not at all concerned,” Trump said Sunday in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Trump headlined two large rallies in Nevada over the weekend, including one indoors at Xtreme Manufacturing in Henderson, defying state coronavirus rules limiting gatherings to no more than 50 people. Thousands of supporters gathered on Saturday and Sunday to attend the events. Few wore masks and there was no social distancing.
The president has faced pushback from health experts and critics for his decision to hold the indoor rally. Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the White House coronavirus task force, has expressed frustration at the lack of masks worn by attendees of Trump’s campaign events.
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) on Sunday accused the president of “taking reckless and selfish actio…

Lubbock officials address latest COVID-19 data

An update on COVID-19 was given by City of Lubbock officials during a virtual news conference Wednesday.
Katherine Wells, director of the Lubbock Health Department, said there are 9,936 cases and is expecting for the total case count to reach 10,000 by Wednesday evening. The death total is now at 113.
The health department is planning on moving to a new data system by either Wednesday evening or Thursday, Wells said. The change will not alter the data being presented on the dashboard.
“The big reason for the change is the health department normally processes between 200 and 300 disease reports a week,” Wells said. “Now with COVID, our department staff is processing over 2,000 records a week, and our prior data system could not handle this volume.”
There should not be a big change to the total case count, but there potentially could be some changes to the ethnicity categories or to the number of daily cases documented, Wells said.
The new data system will allow information to be entered in…

Trump claims COVID-19 vaccine will be ready by April for every American

President Trump said Friday he expects there will be enough COVID-19 vaccines for every American by April 2021.
"We'll have manufactured at least 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year and likely much more than that," Trump said during a press briefing Friday.
"Hundreds of millions of doses will be available every month, and we expect to have enough vaccines for every American by April."
No COVID-19 vaccine has been proven safe and effective yet by the Food & Drug Administration. But the U.S. has invested in seven potential vaccines, three of which are in phase three trials that will determine safety and effectiveness.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, has said the federal government should know by November whether any of the vaccines is safe and effective.
Health workers and people who are most vulnerable to severe COVID-19 illness including the elderly would likely get the vaccine first, while the general publi…

Texas leads the nation in PPP fraud

Texas currently leads the country in Payroll Protection Program fraud indictments, according to the Houston Chronicle. As of Monday, the newspaper had documented a total of 45 indictments nationwide, with at least seven of those cases, the most of any state, being in Texas.
In a new and eighth Texas case, the U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday took a Texas woman into custody on allegations she fraudulently obtained more than $1.9 million in PPP loans.
Lola Shalewa Barbara Kasali, 22, of Houston, is charged with making false statements to a financial institution, wire fraud, bank fraud and engaging in unlawful monetary transactions.
The criminal complaint alleges Kasali submitted at least two fraudulent PPP loan applications — one on behalf of an entity called Lola’s Level and the other in the name of Charm Hair Extensions. Kasali allegedly received more than $1.9 million in PPP loan funds following the approval of the Lola’s Level application. The charges allege that after receiving the…

Texas Restaurant Association questions findings about spread of COVID-19

Among adults tested for the coronavirus at 11 U.S. health care facilities in July, none of which were in Texas, those who were infected were about twice as likely to have dined at a restaurant in the previous 14 days, according to a new study reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Otherwise, activity levels were similar in people with or without COVID-19 in other respects. Those included shopping, social gatherings at home, going to an office, salon, or gym, using public transportation or attending religious gatherings.
“Masks cannot be effectively worn while eating and drinking, whereas shopping and numerous other indoor activities do not preclude mask use,” researchers said in the report on Friday in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. “Eating and drinking on-site at locations that offer such options might be important risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection,” they added. In a statement, the Texas Restaurant Association characterizes the me…
