COVID Makes a Comeback. Here we go again. Yesterday Dallas County reported 406 new cases, and on Saturday Tarrant reported 966; both numbers top one-day totals from February. Over the past two-week period, Dallas County has averaged 213 new cases per day; the previous two-week period, we averaged 97. Please encourage your unvaccinated friends to get the jab, especially if your friend is poor Cole Beasley.
