Musings by Rev. Jim Flagg - "What happened?"

(Tribune)

We are in a mess right now. Not only in world events, but here at home in our backyard. In early July most of us were thinking we can go back to a new sense of normal. What happened? While I am really hoping we will crest this wave of COVID-19 later in September, in Texas and Harris County, we are about where we were last February in terms of risk, quite near the peak in mid-January, and much worse than the lows we had reached at the beginning of July. And unfortunately, the wave is still headed UP. Texas Medical Center has hit new records of hospitalizations. People who go to the emergency rooms have had to endure incredibly long waits.
