TEXAS VIRUSES
The great State of Texas confirms this year's first case of dangerous viruses now spreading around the nation and worldwide.
It's no secret that Texans like to brag. But the saying "everything is bigger in Texas" doesn't just refer to big hats, big hair, and big attitudes. It has its roots in the state's enormous geographical area. Texas has a total area of 268,820 square miles (696,241 km²), ranking just behind Alaska in terms of size.
