“... .the surge, in Harris County hospitals (and other areas) is, imo, directly related to the Floyd protests.”

This, it cannot be shouted out loud enough. No politician seems to want to even get close to mentioning this very salient FACT.

It is ironic that the ferals that were running around in close groups destroying other peoples businesses are very likely the ones that are getting sick today and driving up the case numbers. If I were vindictive I would hope that the ferals really do get sick, very very sick, so sick that a bullet thru the brain case sounds like a reasonable thing.

“””The Democrat/Left needs to keep these soul-crushing mandates going to the first Tuesday in November to have even an outside chance against Trump.”””


So true. The Democrat Leftists need to have mail ballots sent to every registered voter (whether that voter is dead, alive, moved) to have a chance at beating Trump.

The only way mass mail voting will happen is if we continue to lockdown and keep the Kung Flu simmering until November.

Please clarify. Did Pence come right out and say that these spikes are due to young protesters? That would be EPIC if he did. The media has worked triple-overtime to suppress such talk.


VP did NOT specifically say that these spikes are due to protesters.

He DID say that roughtly half of the number of new cases, in this spike, are primarily people 35 and under.

He says it here, at the 26:45 mark....

Dep....if I missed where he specifically called out the protesters, please let us know about where in the briefing VP said this. Thanks.

Just look at the Harris County hospitals that are being “overwhelmed” with COVID cases. Ben Taub and and LBJ.

Add to that what VP Pence said, at today’s CV briefing...that HALF of the new cases, in this spike, are of people 35 and younger.

Fact + Fact = PROTESTS

"Thank you for posting. A lot of people loosing there mind here. They forgot the President Trump got some extra time to prepare with the lock downs.

We are ready for any breakout... It Texas or any other state runs out of Bed, President Trump will send help.
"

That's the emphasis that we need. President Trump is the best that we can have for the situation. Winning the election is more important than any personal narrow interests.

This is all a strategy in the war we’re too stupid to know we’re fighting. And we thought the British were stupid,standing in a row with their nice red coats? Really?

What is the one thing the southern states have had in common, that could have led to this increase in infection rates?

The answer—the widespread use of air conditioning.

Covid is spread when droplets carrying the infection are expelled into the air. Remember how choirs and such were prime transmitters of Covid? That’s because infected people singing, or talking loudly, expel droplets of infected water into the air where others breath it in.

Isn’t that exactly how air conditioning works?

Thousands of people have converged on the Comal River in New Braunfels each weekend to go tubing and New Braunfels has had a big spike in virus cases. So the governor shut down rafing and tubing today.

I've noticed that more people are wearing masks again in Walmart and HEB.

Every state will have its blow-off high spike of cases. The ones having that now didn’t have it earlier. Now it’s their turn.

It won’t last very long.

Then politicians will claim their mask rules and lockdowns beat the virus. Bull. It does what it does regardless of our actions. It spreads until it runs out of hosts that are affected, then it dies off.

“Is it magical?”

Apparently only if it can be used to get businesses to shut down again and go broke-and more people to run around with their hair on fire in a panic-(S)...

“If that is true and it is the protestors hopefully they ate fatal.”

Eff you, that’s a horrible thing to say, unless you confine it to the rioters, which are a small minority of the protestors. The majority of 60’s protestors grew out of their leftism and lived normal productive lives. They are now in 70’s and are the ones not liking masks and lockdowns.

Jane, did you see where Sylvester suggested starting a wall of shame for restaurants and businesses that don’t follow his guidelines? I told the idiot his name ought to be on the top of the list since he allowed hundreds and hundreds of marchers....protesters, mourners, funerals, burial and mask-optional??? What a fraud and hypocrite!!! Typical of a Demonrat......

The good thing about testing is it can tell infected people to isolate so they don’t infect their families. As far as research, looking at sewage sludge is more productive.

Yes and? It is worse when hospital capacities are exceeded, and better when they aren’t. But take a step back and grok that this isn’t a hospital problem, it is a disease, and hospitals are just a part of this. The goal is to avoid getting sick and going to the hospital in the first place, not to go to the bar, get sick, and have a ventilator warmed up and waiting for you.

Make it rioters then if that suits you. I misspoke Meanwhile your contention about the rioters and bombers of the 60s is completely not true. In fact, if you look close enough, you can see they are still around. As you distinguish the protesters from the rioters, I have now too so thanks for pointing that out. Today’s rioters are scum.

As far as the protesters of the 60s and today go, they are what I call fellow travelers. Useful idiots would be a second choice.
