Real Data Shows Texas Has Had 1/3rd As Many COVID Deaths As Flu Deaths In 2018-2019 Flu Seasons

Wow! Texas had a lot of flu deaths. The whole country had about 61,000 Flu deaths in 2017-2018. I am wondering if many of the Texas flu deaths were people coming across the border.

A friend of mine who is a Nurse in Texas indicated that most of the people who are in Texas hospitals currently with COVID are Hispanic.

Is there a reason Hispanic people might be disproportionately effected by Flu and COVID?

Real data (again) comparing seasonal flu deaths in Texas in 2017-2018, & 2018-2019, to C19 deaths in 2020 (data from Texas Dept of Health): 2019 flu data https://t.co/E5tTqF6cPw ; 2018 flu data https://t.co/ScfwvS5ZYF 2020 C19 data as of 7/14/20 https://t.co/ZpvVLR75An; pic.twitter.com/qztIQNPpX0
