In September 2021, COVID-19 cases were growing faster in San Angelo, Texas, than anywhere else in the state. Since the beginning of August, the city lost nearly 100 people to the virus following a surge in the highly contagious Delta variant. But in the deeply divided town plagued by mistrust of the public health authorities, some say the death tolls are a hoax or greatly exaggerated. Others are left picking up the pieces after a loved one passes.
