Texas has become the first state to surpass one million coronavirus cases. Congrats, I guess?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In celebration, the state\u2019s leaders have given zero indication they intend to implement additional restrictions, the AP reports. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe were certainly hoping we would be in a bubble and not have to go through the things that larger communities were having to deal with because we were in \u2014quote\u2014 rural Texas,\u201d said Cory Edmondson, president and CEO of Peterson Health in Kerrville.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that quickly came to a halt, and we realized we\u2019re not immune to this,\u201d said Edmondson, whose hospital in the Texas Hill Country now often has more than 10 COVID-19 patients admitted, double the usual number.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Quite not\u2014Texas recorded more than 10,800 new cases on Tuesday, a new daily record. As of Wednesday, officials reported 6,779 patients in hospitals and more than 19,300 confirmed deaths since the pandemic began. <\/p>\n

Despite lack of federal restrictions and radio silence from Governor Greg Abbott, who hasn\u2019t held a press briefing since lifting restrictions on restaurants and gyms in September, some cities and counties are trying their best to temper the virus that\u2019s raging around them:<\/p>\n

\n

In El Paso, where more than 1,000 virus patients are hospitalized, local officials have shut down tattoo parlors, hair and nail salons and gyms \u2014 all steps that are beyond what Abbott has allowed. The state is fighting the move that Republican Attorney General<\/a> Ken Paxton says is \u201coppressing\u201d the border county of about 840,000 people, but local officials won a brief reprieve Wednesday when the Texas Supreme Court refused to make an expedited ruling.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
