When I last hear the phrase “social distancing” spoken, I will do a cartwheel.

Here's hoping it isn't one like this.

‘The headline seems to imply that until COVID deaths in Texas totally stop and reach zero, the state should not be open.’

when the goalposts are moved again (and they will be) that very goal is what will be established as the endgame...don’t look for any significant opening of any impacted state economy before June, unless there is open insurrection...

Where are the 2.2 million dead Americans from Covid-19? When will this happen?

Being locked down has already done great damage to the economy and the spirit of the people.
There is general agreement we can’t stay locked down permanently.

Given the two facts above, there is no reason to stay locked down any longer and good reason to start reopening now. The longer we wait the harder it will be because people will be in need of so many more things. Stores need to open but they will have to enforce distancing and limit how many can enter at a time.

Faster, please.

“There could be no deaths for two days. And then a death.”

I am calling you out on this! At least for being too lazy to look up the numbers.

I think the commenter is being hypothetical.

At what point are there few enough deaths to reopen? And if deaths hit zero, how long do deaths have to stay at zero before reopening? If we reopen and deaths continue, do we close down again?

These states and country as a whole cannot take many more weeks of this.

“I think the commenter is being hypothetical.”

Sine actual deaths are listed there is no ‘hypothetical’.

Additional info:

This is what I wrote:

"There could be no deaths for two days. And then a death."

*If* I was saying what the numbers actually were and representing it as fact, I would have written:

There were no deaths for two days. And then there was a death.

Austin happens when Lefties from CA and NY come in to ruin the place after they’ve screwed up the states they’ve lived in. Texas should have built a wall on all sides.

There couldn’t since the deaths have been running about 35 a day.

Note where those deaths are and you will find that they are centered in the predominately Progressive Agenda21/30 Stack and Pack Ghettos of Texas. Abbott could open up 200 counties in Texas with little or no effect on the virus spreading.

We have a perfect storm for conservatives as far as protesting goes

We’re all sitting here bored and out of work temporarily with not a whole lot to do ; getting itchy ; and then we have these fascist governors trying to take away our civil rights right to assembly and free speech

Like I said it’s a perfect storm - and you can watch as America -conservative America - rises up and shows it’s true voice against this fascist phenomenon

This is going to be fun fun fun and the weather is going to be getting good good good

Typical political hit piece since it didn’t report on the protest and threw in commentary about the virus.
