HOUSTON – A new report suggests staying at home is working to prevent coronavirus deaths and hospitalizations in Houston. Data based on epidemiologists’ COVID-19 models and released by the Kinder Institute at Rice University show the efforts to promote social distancing are helping us all. If the stay-at-home order is effective for 60 days, together we could save more than 22,000 lives. “We hope this information will help Houstonians better understand the impact of our collective effort and how important it is to have the stay-at-home order in place,” the report continues. So, for now, stay home if you can, and trust that you’re having a real, positive impact by doing so.”
