“10. any person while the person is giving a speech for a broadcast or to an audience;”

Politicians always think of themselves first.

If wearing a mask in a public gathering is so medically urgent that has to be under penalty of law, then the senator can keep his mask on while politicking.

I hear your frustration, brother, but the combative tone will lose your message.

This will really only affect people in the big metropolitan areas. Everyone in the small town I live in already wears them in the big stores, etc. They make you wear them as you enter the courthouse and hospital as it is.

All of the Democrats and one half of the Republicans (mostly women) will turn them out. Facts don’t matter, fear is driving all of this.

Therein lies 100% of the problem.

I'm beginning to think that giving women the vote was a terrible idea.

They just can't seem to state - in both Texas and Arizona - that the new cases are being found largely among Hispanics, both legal and illegal. Lower-income Hispanics and native Americans lack a hand-washing culture, and this a disease with a primarily fecal-oral transmission vector, not aerosolized droplets.

Republicans are afraid of being accused of racism if they mention this. Democrats of course won't touch it, because questions might be asked about why they have been ignoring the risk of infectious disease spread by illegals for decades.

So shut down your business and put on that mask. It's the right thing to do. /s

Stores in my area now require a mask, I told them that I could prove them WORTHLESS
Drag 2 employees to the Produce section (everybody wearing masks) have one stand 6’ away and another 12’ away ... grab an Orange and peel it ... ask if either can smell it (they both will) then explain to them that the Orange Oil Molecule is MORE than 10,000 times larger than a Virus ... their Mask DID NOTHING to keep them from smelling the Orange, it does LESS than Nothing to protect them from a Virus.
Less = Crowd Control which = Government Job #1
I am 65 years old and worry less about Corona than I do just about anything else.
Forced to wear a mask ... Yes... Payback is a Mother (You Crowd Control POS wannabes, I am taking names and I will not forget)
Remember 2021 is NOT an Election Year, this too shall pass

So you think you can do a fake made up headline because you don’t like the guy?

Fundamentally dishonest.

Did you really need this, fearbros?

Is there something about you that is so unsettled that you need this jammed in your face?

As this was the first return from 'googling' did you just ignore it?

Did it elude you? Do you need some lmgtfy.com helps in everyday life?

What. is. your. problem?

Abbott is a bush era globalist just like Cornyn... they all need to go. People need to wake up... there is only one party with two faces... this is why Republicans sit on their hands and let trump twist in the wind. This whole thing from masks to blm is a slow rolling coup attempt by the globalists.

Oddly, it is there in plain sight, as everybody has to report the disparate impact graphs, showing how much worse minorities like hispanics and black people are being impacted.

They always throw in words about how this shows the “racism” of our medical system, but the high case count in hispanic and minority communities clearly indicates they are not doing a good job of distancing, or keeping hygiene, or wearing masks.

In Virginia, I live next to two of the highest-rate zip codes, both are primarily hispanic communities, where they never stopped playing soccer, always congregate in parking lots, live multiple families to a house.

I’m not sure what “death rate per case” does for the argument, if the issue is that you have doubled your case load. The question was whether more people were dying.

Now, that is also a stupid question, because theoretically, everybody is going to get this at some point, and whoever dies will die, and of course if we are better at treating, fewer people will die, and of course as more young people get it, the “death rate” will drop.

But in Texas, cases, hospitalizations, and even deaths are moving upward. Nobody wants to lock down again, and as a lot of so-called scientists are claiming that masks are about 80% effective in stopping the spread, it’s a shot at avoiding lockdowns.

Personally, I think shutting down the bars will do most of the work, as bars seem to be popping up on all the tracer reports as the place where people are spreading. Half-drunk people standing toe-to-toe drinking and shouting over music for hours at a time. One sick person goes into the bar, and spittles pretty much half the customers.

In one bar, a few girls who clearly had the disease got with their friends, 16 total, and went to a bar in Florida. By the next week, all 16, plus 7 workers, had positive cases.

It may not matter, they all seem to recover, but the atmosphere is still “keep the numbers down, or we will lock down”, and so if we waste time wearing masks and the numbers drop, we’ve achieved a goal of some sort.

Plus, people seem to feel better when others are wearing masks, which is not a medical thing, but whatever.

FReepers who think they can do better should run for governor.

I may be moving to Texas to escape the communists in Washington State if Fuhrer Inslee not defeated in November. Too bad the governor can't just switch positions with the Lt. governor. I think the Number 2 guy right now gets it. Abbot does appear to have an authoritarian streak in him that he can't control. Just sayin.

A lawsuit has been filed in Washington State challenging the statewide face diaper edict. Haven't been able to find the actual court documents yet to read the particulars. Perhaps a similar suit with success in TX would help those who “ I can't breathe.”

Deaths are down drastically

No they aren't? They are slowly trending up since the beginning of June. June 30th tied the record of most deaths in a day.

Think about it, we are seeing a big uptick in positive cases, that's a leading indicator for deaths. People get diagnosed, start to do worse, then go to hospital, then ventilator, then die. So if there is a spike like yesterday of a few thousand cases, we won't see the results in deaths for another 2-3 weeks.
