Vaccine researcher and Houstonian, Dr. Peter Hotez, called this week for immediate action to contain COVID-19 in Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. The “crunch time,” he said, is “the next couple of days. We’ve already let this thing go too long. Now the nightmare scenario is unfolding.” Without tightened restrictions in Houston and Harris County, he said, people will continue to be infected until the area reaches “herd immunity” — when an estimated 60 percent of residents would be infected. Assuming that COVID-19’s mortality rate is 1 percent, Hotez calculates, “you’re looking at nearly 30,000 deaths in Harris County. We can’t tolerate that.”
