As The Hill
Worrisome indeed … hospitalizations and ICU use are lagging indicators. With the continuing rise in cases, Texas will be crashing through "normal" capacity.
A massive rise in testing followed by rigorous contact tracing would be the alternative to broad shut downs. So, Gov. Abbott will have 3 choices: massive deaths, shutting down businesses, or substantial additional spending for tests and hiring tracers. None of them fit into Republican orthodoxy and political praxis.
I’ll leave this here:
We are witnessing Dan Patrick's health care reform in action.
Polis needs to do what Cuomo, Murphy and Lamont did in the northeast and require Texans to go into quarantine for 2 weeks before entering Colorado.
In Dan’s defense, he’s had his hands pretty full these last couple of weeks trying to get white-prosperity jezus to solve the racism problem (… which Tucker Carlson says doesn’t even exist — racism that is, not white-prosperity jezus …) that only he can . . .
https://youtu.be/v2RrAoTfIns
. . . And, anyway, this is not a crisis. It’s just a lot of Dan’s very good Texans finally getting on board with his (… Dan’s, that is, — not sure about where white-prosperity jezus is on this one, but maybe? …) program and lining up to do their duty.
it isn't a PURELY partisan issue … but looking at the states by their Governors' parties, the trends seem clear Source is tamino, aka Grant Foster, a professional data geek. Data are straight from Johns Hopkins University site.
Even with Democratic California experiencing an extraordinary rise. And Republican Massachusetts and Maryland being on the other side.
When will Colorado Republicans apologize for calling our Governor’s REASONABLE, thoughtful measures to protect against COVID-19 “liberal tyranny”?
The GOP is at risk of becoming about as irrelevant as isolationists after Pearl Harbor.
People, people, people — watch your FOXNews! Texas has way, way bigger problems to worry about today than some eensy-weensy virus. . .
Tune in for more in-depth coverage of this latest breaking south Texas invasion crisis at 11:00 on Tucker Carlson, where he leads a panel discussion on the need for additional border wall . . .
This was both completely predictable and completely predicted. The US is a failed state.
We're the Florida of the global community.
Indeed spaceman. The leadership of our country can't admit a virus that has already killed 126 thousand Americans and is spreading rapidly again is a real problem. They can't possibly do that because they are too busy focusing on so many things that aren't real, like Qanon, the deep state, fake news, etc.
I see all the bitching by imbeciles at the Palm Beach County meeting this week about the massive horror and indecency of having to wear a mask, and I wonder what it was that happened in these peoples lives that made them so fucking deficient and willfully ignorant.
Our country is quite possibly in the worst shape it has ever been in.
Choice of what to shut down:
So, not churches. Not businesses. Not retail stores. Not child care services, local government operations or youth camps. A statewide mask-wearing order is not needed in Texas.
Plus, there's a ton of latitude in giving local governments the authority to approve mass gatherings. Some local governments make the Libertarian Party look like the nanny state.
The message needs to get out loudly and repeatedly — this is exactly what Colorado will look like again shortly if people (not a few people, not some people, not just scaredy liberals, but nearly every swingingbody) — don’t resume and continue some reasonably simple and not terribly burdensome precautions: wash your hands, wear a mask when out in public, stay distanced, avoid crowded areas, don’t be an idiot, don’t be an idiot, don’t be an idiot.
The disease ain’t going away! Deal with it, responsibly!
My daughter works at an upscale restaurant in Littleton. The customers, whom she describes as “entitled yuppies”, wear masks while standing in line, but immediately take them off when seated. They might be seated 8 at a table like that. As alcohol flows, people get more careless. Staff is masked but not gloved. Don’t know what kitchen staff are doing. There is one air conditioning system with multiple duct paths, and the virus may be spread in AC systems with sufficient humidity.
The restaurant has outdoor seating, and attempts to implement social distancing. But I’m terrified for her and her children, and afraid of what they might expose me to, as well. ( you try explaining social distancing to a toddler). .
Staying well away from these COVID factories.
Watched Pence do his happy talk routine, lie blatantly ( Oklahoma’s doing great!), avoid even saying “mask”, and speak for Fauci during the Coronavirus task force briefing this morning. Sheesh. Birx’s presentation was amateurish- dozens of charts about viral spread in various states, but slides were illegible as they were just poorly photographed and thrown into an obviously hastily prepared presentation. Guess they didn’t want reporters to have access to the real data.
"COVID Factory"sounds appropriate. Pre-pandemic, I did not eat out a lot. Since the shutdown began in mid-March, I've had take out exactly three times, and from the same restaurant.
I would do Subway a couple times a month. But not since February. Now, who knows what some unmasked teenage worker is breathing out?
Does the Texas state constitution have a 25th Amendment counterpart? If so, Dan Patrick and the rest of the Free Dumb lovers in the Texas state government need to stage a coup.
