And all the while, the state, and Dallas County, keep releasing record daily rates of infection and hospitalizations stats (a record set for each last week on Monday and the Wednesday). I guess there are plenty of people that think stats are false, or would simply rather take risks with their health, as well as the health of others, than to be further inconvenienced. Or maybe that is an example of southern hospitality at work; howdy neighbor, I've got some of the COVID and it looks like you could use some too!

At a point I think people will just say "f" it and go on about their life. I think the stat a lot of people are looking at is the asymptomatic stat and the stat where many have mild symptoms. Life is a gamble. You take that gamble when you get in a car and drive or do a lot of other daily things. I think people are tired of being scared. I can understand that.
