Latest coronavirus updates: Harris County confirms third presumptive positive case of COVID-19

Here's a quick look at the latest COVID-19 headlines from around Houston, Texas and the world for Tuesday, March 10.

The story I read earlier today said they were at CHRISTUS in Longview hospital --- the story posted saying 'no cases' was from 7th, outdated story.

Hello from near Canton. Lots of friends and fam near Conroe, and South Houston area.

Been keeping close eye on Tyler myself as hubs works there and have been gritting teeth as he deal with the public.

Waco here. Not having an international, hell even an interstate airport, is finally a good thing. No way they shut down I35, but that is literally the only threat here....all the 18-wheelers coming through by the 100's each day from all over.

I honestly think the best course of action would be to shut the country down for 2 weeks and let this thing burn out. Yes, short term hit to the economy, but it would come roaring back as people spend money after suffering through 2 weeks of cabin fever. Shut down all non-essential businesses and force employers to continue to pay their employees as usual, or give a one month mortgage reprieve like Italy.

I dont understand why doesn't Gov. Abbott step in to cancel the Houston Rodeo? Since WE ALL know the Mayor wont. Its obvious we dont know the real facts right now. By the time we do itll be to late. So they stepped hand sanitizer,cleaning of restrooms constantly, blah blah -seriously people. Then they all come back to work possibly spreading it the next day. Didnt they say social distancing today?
Wheres Governor Abbott on this?
It may be nothing but by the looks of it most likey is.
Plus theres so so many more people in the hospital right now the ER's are jam packed like crazy, but because not really testing or not disclosing till days later we will never know.
All because the show must go on. Smh

My elderly mother resides in Marshall.

It will take a mule team to keep her from her Mah Jong coffee klatch.

I work at home in my shop, and the end of this week starts spring break..stocked up on everything today and some more last week. I'm sure glad spring break is right now at this critical moment to see better what is going to develop around this area..

No sound no matter what I try. What is up?

I think the country should be shut down NOW for 6-8 weeks.

Rodeo Cancellation ?

I agree with you, not sure about the length it should be shut down but it should be shutdown.

I think a 'real' expert should decide how long ..... Not a government official - but a team of NON government related physicians who do not have their hand in the government cookie jar.

I just said 6-8 wks, cuz that would cover any possible reinfections. It may be too long, and could inconvenience some who do not have food to last that long. So let's just go with a month. Everyone should be able to afford a month of food - and if not, the government should give them food for free if they are penniless.

It would take a good 'week' to get the word out and get the lockdown started, cuz some will not know cuz they are dumb F*s and don't pay attn to reality, or read, listen to news.

What about the druggies and crackheads? They are not going to stop going on streets to deal their drugs.

Russia and some other country have implemented a penalty for breaking quarantine. That is another option .....

I say start with the 3 wks. and then extend to 3 more weeks at least.

Also, each city needs to have a 1-800 Call center that is full staffed with physicians. Courier delivery of medication to everyone who needs it would be necessary. Or mail if planned enough in advance. (as in 'now'.)

I agree with the Drs /experts to make that call.
Do you think they would do that in Houston or even Texas???
It needs to be done soon, before we are all saying "should, coulda but didnt. Were screwed now."

Abbott has been quite proactive in most past cases. I am sure he is watching this closely and it would not surprise me to see him take action. I think, however, that is is 'waiting' to the possible demise of some Texan's lives. We already have a small clusters starting to form (Houston, Dallas mainly) - but it won't be very long at all before the clusters intensify. I'd say by next wk. TX will be clustering pretty hard in some of the major cities, whether it is reported or not ...... WHY? because they are NOT releasing data as to where these folks have been in the cities, so that folks can avoid those areas (money inspired I'm sure.) Does HIPPA actually prevent them from releasing 'locations' - I mean they could at least give 'general' locations, not addresses, or names of businesses, etc. Even general locations would help substantially, IMHO!

Hey Texans, I don't have green to pin, but if any of you do, let's try to keep this pinned . . . It will help us to keep up with The Lone Star State! Peace and luv to all my fellow Texans. I keep watching this thread and will continue to do so over the next few days weeks. If nothing else, let's all try to keep it bumped! :)

More information on this? I’m in Athens and my neighbors drives out to that area every day. Closer to home than I thought?

There has to be a way around the Hippa laws we should be able to know where they went where they shopped where they went to church to protect ourselves without revealing identity which I respect they need to stay private. But for the sake of our children our families our elderly they also have a great responsibility to protect the public as well. I have heard there are several hospitals that have people already under suspicion but that information is not being released due to Hippa laws which I think is have great disservice to Houston and Texans.

I agree there will be clusters, give it a week or two it will get crazier. I did see military move in a convoy on 610 last Thursday then and practice drills out on the DPS office yard after hours same day, coincidence? Maybe. There were huge helicopters with responders all in black.

Hopefully they cancel Rodeo,like tomorrow-it goes on till the 22nd I think,by then it will be everywhere if not already.
Looks like Texans will have to protect Texans just like we did during Harvey when the tptb did not. So Let's keep this bumped and stay vigilant!

Hello, neighbor - I am just down the road a piece . . . I saw that also, and would also like more info . . . .
