MENTONE, Texas - Zoom in on the glowing red map of ever-escalating coronavirus cases in the continental United States and you will find one county that has been spared. Only one, from coast to coast.
Ten months after the first infection was recorded in the United States, the coronavirus has made its way into every corner of the country. More than 11 million people have tested positive for the virus, which causes Covid-19, with more than 164,000 new cases emerging on Monday alone. "It's a desert town. That's what it is," said Steve Simonsen, the county attorney."We don't speak in terms of running how many cows per acre, it's how many cows per section. A section is 640 acres."
"With the pandemic, a lot of stuff shut down," said Ricardo Galan, 38, who works for a supply company that he said had dropped from 50 employees to 12. "We're made very known when something like that happens here," said Angela Medlin, 31, a deputy county clerk who moved with her husband and four children to Mentone last year."I know of at least one guy who was sick, but they took him back to where he's from," she said, recalling the situation over the summer.
