Virus per 1,000 residents questions So, in Stephenville we have around 42,000-45,000 residents. The local Facebook groups have been going nuts and over the last few days we have seen our daily average increase. Yesterday alone was our highest day with 10 cases coming back positive. My question is, at first we were seeing that if our county (Erath) hit 42 active cases things would have to shut down again. Now, that number has changed to 126 active cases. So my question is, what would happen, if anything?
