Texas faces tipping point as COVID-19 spreads
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), who is fully vaccinated, tested positive for COVID-19 this week as deaths in his state from the coronavirus have more than doubled in the last two weeks and hospitals have reached capacity.
Si bien Abbott sufrió una infección irruptiva relativamente rara, menos de la mitad de la población total del estado está completamente vacunada contra el virus, lo que los pone en alto riesgo de contraer COVID-19.
