We had seven new cases announced here in Rockwall county yesterday. The Rockwall county emergency management site has started breaking out Broadmoor, the long term health facility, out as its own count separate from the city.

If you look at a map of my small county, you will see that from west to east on the map, it goes Rockwall, Fate, and Royse City. Fate had been overperforming for its size, probably for two reasons: most of the people there had to leave in order to work, and they probably didn’t think the rules applied to them.

Now that it’s gone on for a bit, Royse City is starting to catch up. Which means it is spreading out away from Dallas.

Paris, Tx has 64 cases. It has a junior college there, but it seems pretty high for where it is.
