At least one nursing home got hit. They've confirmed 4 of the deaths came from there, but have refused to say anything else since then.

All of the deaths are people over 70, with all but one being in their 80s or 90s. Several were in hospice care.

It does not appear it came from China, at least not from students coming back in January. There was 1 possible case back in January, but that student tested negative (CDC lab test, not test kit) and at least so far there has not been any evidence of the virus circulating locally until mid-March, unless all the cases were mild or asymptomatic. This come from someone I know who works for emergency management in the area.

The first known case was a girl who returned from Spain, but did the smart thing and self quarantined upon her return. The Brazos County Heath Department does not believe she infected anyone due to the time between returning and becoming sick.

We then had 8-10 more travel cases before it started spreading in the area. About the same time, the BCHD stopped giving out much information. They wouldn't tell people where the cases were or where the new cases had been around town (Hays County started doing this early on) and claimed they can't give out anything but number of cases/recoveries/deaths.

It is highly likely that what really got it going in B/CS was students coming back from Spring Break.

KBTX finally broke the story that The Waterford nursing home was having an outbreak, probably either families started telling them, or perhaps they figured it out from scanner traffic. When there are multiple calls per day to the same location for "difficultly breathing," "respiratory problems," and one for a patient who was "turning blue" it was obvious what was going on.

Since then the BCHD has been a little more forthcoming about some things, such as more than half the cases involve people between 20 and 49 (which likely means mostly students) and about half of all cases are the result of clusters; the two they will identify are The Waterford and the Sanderson Farms plant. The others would be residential locations (assumed to mostly be family members or roommates) so they won't give any details.

However, just from listening to Broadcastify, I can think of at least three other locations which are highly likely clusters. One is an apartment complex, another an Ag Shack, and the third is a street that in the course of 2 days, had at least 6 calls to 5 different addresses. In every case, it was for "difficultly breathing/respiratory problems" with the patients also running fever and coughing. I wish I could say where, but since I can't verify it; I'd likely get a ban for doing so.

All that said, I am not really impressed with the guy from the BCHD who does the press conferences. He seems way to attached to doctrine, dogma, and tradition, just like Fauci. He did say that local hospitals are using hydroxychloroquine, which he proceeded to downplay as not doing any good, but at least he didn't say it shouldn't be used.

Here is a thread from Aggieland/MyBCS where we've been discussing it.

Didn't 3 Bryan police officers test positive? That would be another cluster.
