The protestors of the 60s are The Establishment today.

I will have to go back and look.

It could have been Vice President Pence comments about under 35 and Dr. Fauci comments that lead me to believe this. I think they thank them for being tested. I will have to watch from start to finish. They might have dance around it without saying it.

Thanks for the video link I was listening to them on SiriusXM.

We do have a link in Greenville SC WYFF..
In my area SC they are linking the protest to the spike. They are asking other protesters to come in for testing.

Why the heck has Abbott reversed? I’m boiling mad at this. Texas was supposed to be back at 100% on July 4.

Seems like we have more cases since the masks requirements started. Could wearing masks have something to do with it? Who knows.

I understand that the Governor has targeted just certain areas in East Texas that have problems.

That, I think, was the plan. Open and see what happens and if certain areas require special attention, they will get it.

That made me feel better. I hope it’s true.

The Leftists thrilling Death rate causing American economic/business shut down was exacerbated by the giddy Leftists hatred for releasing the already known-to-be-safe, Hydroxychloripine, for stopping the virus dead in its tracks because it slowed the Lefties thrilling Death rate..

Now, already, there are several treatment options available that work and others in trials.

Media doesn’t want us to realize this is just one more nasty flu that typically, as with all the others, is very risky to elders and those with serious underlying pathologies.

Said it before and I’ll say it again

Remember, a lot of the so-called hospitalizations are for observation and to milk the Federal Government for the bill as opposed to private health carriers. Although Ca., NY, and a couple of other states are claiming lower infection rates, they have killed off large parts of their vulnerable populations already and many are not even bothering to test.

Absolutely it is time to panic: All liberals in Austin need to flee back to New York and Boston where they will be safe!

That would be great, but unlikely, unfortunately.

Along those lines though; My wife and I were tested for COVID-19 anti-bodies this morning in Northern NJ in the NY metropolitan area. We both tested negative, unfortunately. I really wanted to have the anti-bodies, but the result was not a surprise since I haven't felt sick from anything in several years.

The nurse practitioner was a sweet lady who appeared to be in her late 60's at least. As we were waiting for the results (which only took about 10 minutes), she was regurgitating the talking points about the increase in cases, especially among the young, and I engaged her a bit about the folly of the one-size-fits-all lockdown policy for something that is fatal, primarily, to a small percentage of the population, and how we should be seeking herd immunity for the other 99% of people.

She repeated the talking point about the spike in cases in other states, especially among the younger set, and said something about "everybody" now wanting to come to NY and NJ because it was "safer". I politely countered with the statement that I cannot get out of NJ fast enough, but that was the case even before all this nonsense. This lady is obviously not familiar with the interstate migration data that shows NJ and NY losing residents to other states at a significant rate.

I wasn't going to get into a back-and-forth on the difference between cases and deaths or how an increase in cases actually means a reduced fatality rate. That would have been pointless.

Everyone has their media-led talking points and no amount of data or facts will convince them otherwise.

-

DO Hospitals/Doctors STILL get the 15% Bonus (Fees they can charge the government) for handling a ‘WUFLU’ case ???

-

Spreading or just NOW tested ??

Need actual statistics about EFFECT.

Eventually ‘detected’ will be most people - ARE these cases that REQUIRE hospitalization ????

.

Media GIN-ing up more panic and crisis.

Why? What does testing do? Is it magical?

Yes, it is very magical! It allows them to keep the fear ginned up and the farce going strong. More testing = higher numbers = more fear = more control from the nanny state.

Working quite well in Houston from what I hear. Brother in Houston told me his wife just returned from HEB and it is very much like the first day this “pandemic” was announced. Folks running around mad like stampeding cattle, shelves getting empty again. Here we go.

Thanks Abott, “peaceful protestors”, and all ya’ll.

Yep I read where the gov. of NC just issued a mandate that all
must wear mask when out in public now. In the past it was optional.

Why is no one “contact tracing” these cases. Personally I chalk it up to young people being out and about without fear, because the reality is they really have very little to fear. The largest increase in positives is people under 40. They may get sick, maybe even very sick, but few will die.

Oh yeah and people crossing the border, legally and illegally. Can’t say that aloud though. Racist dontcha know.

Conservative Texans should contact Abbotts’ office (https://gov.texas.gov/contact) and voice your opinion. The hotspots for Texas are the Progressive Ghettos and not the other approximately 200 counties. Express your opinion that these coming lockdowns and restrictions are not backed by facts and only affect limited areas.

As a reminder, the liberal media is COUNTING on your knee jerk reaction......rather than looking at ALL the numbers!

Someone needs to tell Gov. Abbott about not panicking. Contacted by State Representative and told him what Abbott is doing is unconstitutional! He said the Legislative plans to deal with it on it's next session. No dictator had as much power as this Governors have had due to this virus!
