Exposed: COVID-19 was spreading in Houston before the rodeo, records show — Houston Chronicle


“In the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, the public messaging from the federal level down to local was consistent: Risk to the public was low. More than 850,000 people passed through the NRG gates as officials insisted there was no evidence the virus was spreading unchecked. But a Houston Chronicle investigation based on thousands of pages of emails, texts and documents and more than 50 interviews shows that a cascade of failures starting at the federal level left local officials ill-equipped to confront the biggest public health threat in generations.”

Last week at a grocery store in Aledo (just west of Fort Worth), the only ground beef to be found was the $8 a pound variety.
Houston area here. Canned pumpkin was out locally for awhile, closest store that had it was 15 miles away. I did find some eventually. Soup stocks have been hit and miss (I am brand and type specific), sometimes there is more cheese than meat in the meat dept. I’m trying to think ahead to what is stable for Thanksgiving. I prefer my vegetables fresh. To be honest, as long as there are no shortages on my animal feed, I’m not so worried about groceries being limited. I can make do, but I won’t let my animals suffer.
