The mayor of Austin, Texas, told his constituents on a video call last month to 'stay home' and avoid unnecessary travel. The message was a bid to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus in the city and across Texas, as COVID-19 patients are already overwhelming hospitals. But according to Business Insider, Mayor Steve Adler, a Democrat, neglected to mention where he was when he filmed the public service announcement. In fact, he was speaking from a timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to which he'd flown on a private jet shared with eight other family members and guests. The day before the flight, Adler had hosted a wedding for his daughter, with 20 attending. As of Wednesday, more than 13.8 million Americans have tested positive for coronavirus and over 272,400 have died. Texas is the second worst-hit state in the US. It's surpassed 1.25 million cases and 22,100 deaths.
Just when people are getting more comfortable flying during the pandemic, CNN reports a woman died due to COVID-19 while on a flight to Arizona. CNN reports a county official said the Dallas-area woman was in her 30s and had 'underlying high-risk health conditions.' The woman died in late July on the tarmac at a New Mexico airport. The Dallas County HHS first reported her death in the news release Sunday. No other details were made available because of medical privacy reasons. Johns Hopkins University says more than 220,000 have died and more than 8.2 million COVID-19 cases have been reported nationwide as of Tuesday afternoon. The Transportation Security Administration says it screened more than 1 million passengers Sunday. That's the highest number of passengers since March 16.
