Beyond sadness: Today Texas passed 50,000 deaths from COVID-19. 50,000 moms & dads, brothers & sisters, our low-income neighborhoods especially. "Historic decimation" I said in Hispanic communities in South Texas, West TX; both Black and Brown communities our metropolitan areas

Here are the demographics of our 50,000 Texas deaths according to Texas DSHS. As I forecast to the @HispanicCaucus in 2020, "historic decimation" of Hispanic communities

Maybe the greatest single tragedy in TX history?
