	H.R. No. 1492



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, In late April 2021, the State of Texas reached a
	sobering milestone when it surpassed 50,000 deaths of its citizens
	from COVID-19; and
	WHEREAS, The state's death toll, out of more than two million
	recorded cases, is the third-highest in the nation; since the first
	death from the disease was reported in Matagorda County on March 16,
	2020, our state has battled several devastating surges in cases,
	particularly in the early summer months and in the months
	surrounding the holiday season; on November 13, 2020, Texas for the
	first time exceeded one million confirmed cases, and on January 11,
	2021, a record of over 14,000 Texans were hospitalized due to
	COVID-19; and
	WHEREAS, The majority of deaths from COVID-19 have occurred
	in hospitals, where terminally ill patients have suffered in
	isolation from their loved ones; despite heroic efforts on the part
	of nurses, physicians, and other health care workers, far too many
	Texas families have dealt with the grief and heartbreak of losing
	someone to COVID-19; those who perished have included fathers and
	mothers, brothers and sisters, grandparents and
	great-grandparents, children, and friends, whose deaths have left a
	tremendous void in their communities and in the lives of those who
	knew them; and
	WHEREAS, Although our state's death toll is a grim reflection
	of the scale of the COVID-19 pandemic, it cannot adequately convey
	the full human impact of this tragedy, and it is fitting that we
	honor the memories of those Texans who are no longer with us as we
	express our sympathy toward those who are rebuilding their lives in
	their absence; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the more than 50,000 people who
	died from COVID-19 in the State of Texas and extend heartfelt
	condolences to their surviving families and friends.

	Morales of Harris
