AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A health official on the Texas Gulf Coast said 85 infants have tested positive for the coronavirus.

Corpus Christi Nueces County Public Health Director Annette Rodriguez said Friday that the 85 infants are each younger than 1, but offered no other details, including how the children are suspected to have become infected.

“These babies have not even had their first birthday yet. Please help us to stop the spread of this disease” by staying home except for necessary trips, socially distancing and wearing masks in public, Rodriguez said during a public health update in Corpus Christi.

Rodriguez did not return messages for comment Saturday from The Associated Press.

Hey Abbott your libertarian plan is failing, this says everything about your lack leadership ............

[Iliyah]

1. That is a damn shame that the USA's citizens get . . .

information from news sources instead of the USA government concerning truth and facts.

And yet the federal government want to open schools up and is not because of the students higher learning, nope, it because of lifting up the economy even though COVID-19 is spreading and people are suffering and dying.

No concern whatsoever for the heath and welfare of the USA citizens. Nada, zip, nothing, zero.

Children in Florida are getting infected as well and gawd knows where else in the "red" states.

Serious prayers.

That's why Abbott doesn't give a shit.
