Probably, but there was a lot of overreaction back in March when we didn't know as much about COVID as we do now.hbtheduce said:
Maybe they shouldn't have shut down Texas before we saw those trends. Now people are over it.

It's only for 2 weeks! Suck it up! If everyone stays home for Easter this thing will be all over soon.
Wear a mask or you'll get a fine or a horrifically mild cold!!

This is some bull sh*t. My little brother is supposed to get married Sunday in Dallas, and there's no doubt that tyrant Jenkins will endorse the 10 or less mandate.
Invite him to the wedding.
Just read the EO. Have the wedding in a pool. Good to go.
I don't know you but I respect you.
Hospitalization is both in patient and out. Dallas has a similar trend but in patient shows no increase. Outpatient spikes which means they get a shot and go home.
Here's the actual EO - addresses a bunch of the complaints voiced so far...beerad12man said:
Is there a list of rules? Outdoors? Exercise? I'm playing golf sunday, I better not have to wear a f***ing mask.

Winner. We're still having our July 4 party......OITSIDE.trouble said:heynow said:trouble said:heynow said:
Why are you folks interpreting public spaces as excluding outdoor public spaces?
Have you read the actual order?
Show me then.
If you can maintain social distancing outside, you do not need a mask.

Are you really comparing catching Covid to being a victim of a school shooting?
Also, wearing a bulletproof backpack is ****ing stupid.

There's a lesson in this. Don't elect a teasip governor.
To me it's not about the sacrifice of the mask. I've said I wear it, but when I realize that those who I am protecting aren't, I take it off.
Anyways, it's about government continually encroaching and stripping our rights away.

I don't think we should defund the police at all. Speaking in absolutes is the way of this board but not usually true.

Bexar county has a nearly identical trend line for COVID hospitalizations. We can't just look at this data and do nothing.
Those are admissions, not just ICU admissions; therefore, those numbers don't mean anything.

Doesn't give anyone the power that the governor is trying to exert.C@LAg said:emergency declaration?BTKAG97 said:
Does that EO have any power? What's the legality behind the order?
control over Ingress/Egress of a disaster area != dress code
"The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution was never designed to restrain the people. It was designed to restrain the government."
Shocking that so many here don't want to comply with a simple action that will help others. Selfless service, huh.
No more straight ticket voting in Texas so I will leave that vote blank if Abbott is the Republican nominee. You can book that.Grapesoda2525 said:
The abbott backlash is a big nothing burger when everyone on this board votes for him again in a few years.
Enjoy your new normal everyone!

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

It's amazing. The temper tantrum over wearing a mask to help others is insane.
Says a lot about a lot of posters. Americans typically like to help others. Not anymore.

Masks are ineffective, social distancing is a crock....none of this is beneficial in the least and is totally illegal and unsupported by laws.CDub06 said:

The ignore feature is glorious...
Here's a fivethirtyeight article that has nothing to do with stats or numbers. TLDR: mask orders are systemically racist.

From your post.
Genuinely curious but why would daily new hospitalizations not mean much of anything? Hospital beds and staffing is still a finite resource. All the other data points show similar trends lines (total ICU occupancy, total bed occupancy etc...)agdoc2001 said:Forum Troll said:

My post is what conservatives have stated as ideas/plans to protect children from guns, which is the price of freedom.
Meanwhile, wearing a mask is like being asked to sacrifice your first born.
It's pathetic.
