Remembering Texas's COVID deaths (December 16, 2020)

A neighbor plants a flag for each Texan who has died from COVID-19.  As of December 16, the toll stood at 23,821.  As I write this on the last day of December, the Texas toll is at 27,821, with 322 new cases reported yesterday.  My high school friend Trish told me, "One of those flags represents somebody I loved."
