I'd be totally shocked if a Texas shutdown were announced. I think the rumor is false.

What percentage is 33 out of 30,000,000?

'Cause that's our current death rate, even with the number of cases spiking.

And the first person who uses the words 'lagging indicator' loses. That's been said for 3 weeks now.

So, is the State going to remain open?
What about this football season?
I have zero expectations of a football season. Hopefully the high schools play, but I will be pretty surprised if A&M plays at this point. Could be wrong though.



For some reason I can see A&M playing football before high schools would. I don't know why. That's just my feeling.

Calm down....you need to give it a couple of weeks, since there is a lag in death vs. cases.

I don't think it's true. Hospitals and deaths are not out of control.

In fact, shutting down in the first place is why we are seeing a spike in cases. If you shut down again you are kicking the can down the road, AGAIN
All of the big counties are demanding the governor give them the power to shut down/lock down again. They say if they don't, the hospitals will be overwhelmed and we'll become Italy or worse.
That is not true. 3 of the 4 big counties in DFW are NOT doing this.

It better ****ing be. What we're doing right now is bull**** enough. I swear, Abbott better not win reelection. He went from being a strong leader like the Florida governor to a piece of **** coward who not only backtracked but doubled down on the stupidity and went to far.

Doesn't matter. The rumor generated 24 hrs of outrage by the MAGA CV deniers, which was no doubt its purpose.

Would love to see the data source as Florida has been averaging approx 300 deaths per week. Hopefully the person who posted this verified it and can show us the source. Due diligence.

Are we moving from a daily death count to a weekly death count? That would be a new metric unused to this point.

Sweden will all be dead soon.

The latest Coronabro talking point is that there is no lasting immunity to the virus so we're all ****ed.
"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

When all the data is out there in 2021-2022 on this crap, it's going to be obvious Sweden handled this thing the right way.

If Trump wins the Libs are going to continue to say that total shutdowns are the way to go and spin Sweden's numbers to fit this narrative.

If Trump loses they are going to throw out revisionist BS and say that from now on we should handle these kinds of situations like Sweden did and they wanted to do that from the start, but orange man made it impossible.

Already talking about the new norm. Continued posts trying to find fear, stuff to worry about, etc. Social distancing and masks for "several years" if no vaccine. It's sick.

Well, it ain't gonna work for "several years". I can tell you that. people will eventually just say f*** it(many people I know already have). This isn't the plague. It's the flu with less immunity thus far.

Either way, this is typical fear mongering and turning this virus into something it isn't.

Not sure what point you are trying to make. Never did I say I Trump was always behind Sweden's approach.

Trouble is relative. Sweden has lost 5420 people out of 10 million. There's also no guarantee each country is reporting the same, either.

I'm not saying that's great. Deaths suck. But simply pointing out that not everyone considers this some race to see who can have the lowest covid deaths without factoring in all other things too. Bottom line covid deaths are not the only thing in the world that matters, nor is it the only thing one can judge their country on.

Sweden got it over with rather than drawing it out for months or longer.

Trump had his approach, courtesy of Fauci, and Sweden had theirs. Sweden looks to have taken the correct approach.

And two weeks after they reopen, they'll shut down again.

The goalposts moved from "flatten the curve" to "we can't have a single case," and we all know why.
