More than 80 infants have tested positive for the coronavirus in one Texas county, local public health official says. The announcement comes as the US set a new single-day record with 75,775 newly-reported cases of the virus, according to NBCNews' tally.

The Nueces County medical examiner, Adel Shaker, told NBC News on Saturday that a 6-week-old boy who died last week tested positive for the virus. Shaker said he has not determined if COVID-19 was the cause of death and is running more tests to find out.

Her announcement came as the U.S. set a single-day record with 75,775 newly-reported cases of the virus, according to NBC News' tally. The death toll in the country has now passed 140,000. Carmen Garcia stands in line to be tested for COVID-19 at an Aardvark Mobile Healths Mobile Covid-19 Testing Truck on July 17, 2020 in Miami Beach, Fla.Globally, more than 14 million people have tested positive for the virus, and more than 600,000 have died, according to data by Johns Hopkins University and NBC News.

A story is printed and some people swallow it without question. So much for twitter fact check.

Sounds unbelievable...or not believable. Why test so many babies? Are they all symptomatic? What kind of test was used? PCR? Abbott’s flawed antibody test? Bad journalism here designed to scare us

PattyArquette 😢

I call B S

Betsy Devos says kids aren't effected by the virus.

Another reason to have remote learning this fall for all schools.

PattyArquette For those of you who are non-believers. The virus says, you will be. Statistics say, you will be. Science says, you will be. In the end you will say 'Now I believe'😠

PattyArquette So much for the “young children can’t contract nor spread the virus so opening schools is fine.” theory. Not that any amount of evidence will change the constant propaganda.

PattyArquette Scary we had a six week old baby catch it over here, thankfully he was OK and both parents managed to care for him without catching it themselves.

PattyArquette This is really scary. And the PM of the UK and USA want to send our children back to schools. And open up everything.

Seemed pretty opiniony. But otherwise, that article was absolutely horrible. Could you at least try to be better

So open schools quickly. How dumb can a nation be?

Fake

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, this is ALL ON YOU!! How many more have to be infected & how many more lives must to be lost before YOU FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!?. This is the most egregious act of depravity by the head of a state. There is no redemption for this evil man.

yeh right

Science says that it’s not happening, I don’t believe the tests.

All these Republican answers just show me how much the states is doomed. You people are nuts

Don’t believe it - want them all retested by an independent testing firm.

They weren’t being tested before. The more tests given the more cases. Calm down sheep, all this does is lower the mortality rate

Just remember the ones selling the panic are the same ones selling the vaccine.

Where these kids from illegal immigrant families? Did these kids contradict the virus here or elsewhere? Why no mention only speculation that the kids got this possibly from adults? Are the parents positive? If not known, why not for the sake of this article? All truth matters.

Was it COVID-19?

Who were those saying that children can't get it? I bet they have already deleted their tweets

MSM Fear Mongering Child Survival Rate 99.99%

JohnCornyn Children can get Covid19. And they can die from it.

Paying attention? JohnCornyn

Very sad

But basically that's why the President and the government sold me to the Mob just to die but it that ask they the mob trys there best to humiliate me by the constant treats and murders of my children and the government by the murders of America and in America

85 children under one year old died in 1 day in 1 county in 1 state... Tell everyone you know.

That sounds fishy

God damn babies not wearing their mask while shopping.

COVID19

It's time to Remove ANY DEMOCRAT from office who can not take the Oath of office on the Bible and Swear allegiance to our Flag and follow the LAWS of the Constitution of the United states.

Using infants for this ridiculous fear mongering is despicable. I've got news for you; Any woman who test positive - asymptomatic or not - who just had a baby will be likely to pass the virus to the infant. This means NOTHING. Shame on you for pushing that garbage.

Just a libby lib hoax to dismantle Trump's presidency though.

Time to ramp up the hysteria

But schools should be fine to open as normal.....if you're an idiot.

How many died?

covid-19 time to help small businesses share it

Sweden!!!

And cue the trolls. Don’t you have anything better to do than spout faux news gibberish?

Enemy of the people

If more children were tested this is probably nothing out of the ordinary. Just trying to sensationalize everything. I'm pretty sure the number of actual cases would dwarf the number of cases confirmed to this point.

Reporting that COVID19 has overwhelmed the hospitals in Houston is not true. Only 53.3 percent of icu patients are even suspected to have COVID19 much less confirmed to have it.

And its a travesty people are being ignorant and negligent this should tantamount to child abuse! No president or one person can stop lobotomized lemmings who has an insane death wish!!

In addition to that,. I'm confident of it.. DemDebate We have to stand with by service to a epidemic Excuse me,. This was all about trying to eliminate the safety net..

Lies... you’re the type of news media that if someone said jump off the bridge you would do it.

We keep seeing the COVID-19 numbers. I would like them to show me the current year Flu Statistics, or are they maybe just Lumping all FLU CASES AS COVID-19 for Effect ?

first he steals all the data now he seeks to end testing this is the murder of thousands of Americans

85 infants may require a retest

Here come all the fake news people in 3, 2, 1...

Were they asymptomatic postives ? Seems like a lot of people have tested positive but have no outward symptoms. It's a confusing disease and makes it hard to know what is going on because everyone is saying something different.

But did they die ?

About 900 almost infants died from the abortion virus today

Fake news will always be fake news.

That's E-I-G-H-T-Y - F-I-V-E I-N-F-A-N-T-S. COVID-19 positive in a single county in Texas.

Fear porn. The progressive left will eat it up.

Before we declare Marshall law and piss ourselves here, Read the article... test results are from March until today. The media hype again in full display. Context

I call bs. Just another way to keep schools closed since Trump wants them open. First off why test? Were they symptomatic? This smells of the bubonic plague squirrels.

I have a question about this? if less than 10 are hospitalized and most adults with weakened immune systems and such are hospitalized and children are considered at risk then why are they not in Driscoll's children's hospital?

CallierNathan Non sense

Your GOP hard at work.

USA & Israel are baiting Iran into War WATCH 👉

Glad I don’t live in Texas!

Oh god.

I’ll wait until they double check that. None of them have been extremely credible as of late.

Leadership failure

How accurate are your tests when you have a bias towards a particular result? Why should I trust you?

I've read in the first announcements that it concerns babes under the age of 1.

My kid won’t be going back to school until I see what happens to the first two waves of guinea pigs

More BS Fear Mongering Child Survival Rate is 99.99%

Are we great yet ?

If any of these children had symptoms, it would have been in the headline.

So where r these babies getting it from? They r not hanging out in bars. I’m sure their parents have it to them. Kids don’t spread and I’m sure these 80 babies will b fine 🙏

Blame BLM and ANTIFA for the surge.

Wait, children can't catch it, that's why we're forcing them back to school during the height of the crisis. Oops

So kids CAN get it.

Abbott is responsible

The sky is falling the sky is falling
