Gracias. We're on 30A as well.
Don't know. Article is vague. JWP and Koch voted against.SoupNazi2001 said:YouBet said:
All people now required to wear masks on premises at a business or face a fine in Dallas County.
Welp, back to working out at home again.
Article doesn't say how restaurants are impacted. Just a blanket statement that all businesses must comply.
We are in Denton County which helped as Collin and Denton County never had the mask mandate when Dallas did. Does the Dallas ordinance include churches?
I never thought I would be a fan of JWP. Lord.
Sounds awesome. We've been going out there for two or three decades as a family, between Destin proper and more recently Rosemary Beach. Bit of a last minute pivot since we were going to Telluride, but as of a few weeks ago it sounded like they had the highway in and out of town closed down to visitors.
And this has been Florida beach talk.
Thanks for this.Ol Jock 99 said:

North Texas specific dash, including 14 day trends, hospital info, testing, all rolled into one. Very neatly done.
Yes, we're spiking. But we are far from "out of control".
The 2nd tab - Regional COVID Patient Census shows that the increase in positives is not straining the hospital system... yet.
But as we've seen from day one. Fear leads. And if your governor is a Republican, he's guilty of murder basically.
Welp. Back to masks again until August 4 (unless they repeal the mandate again). Tell me again how football is going to start on time?
*when in a business and nowhere else
as long as its enforced in a common sense way in restaurants / bars (aka not when at your table with your group), i honestly don't think it will be a huge day to day difference

Colin Co is still normal right?
Yes as are Tarrant and all surrounding counties

what didn't they follow in the middle of the panic? this is the first time any county in texas has mandated masks.
Didnt Bexar do it earlier this week?
yes this week is the first time any counties have mandated masks. so i'm struggling to understand what the other counties didn't follow in the "middle of the panic"
Positive me: if they continue to keep everything open and are reasonable about restaurants...I'll allow it.TexasAggie008 said:

Negative me: F^ck you Clay you f'ing tyrant.
that lasted less than 10 days and had no teeth to it. no fines or other penalties of any kind. this isn't that.
right. and now he says it is.
I don't get how these people get into these political positions and never learned how to present ideas in a way that is palatable.
Instead of a mandate, present the reasons for wanting people to wear masks.
On top of that, don't imply you are dumb for not wearing one and are going to get sick. Which is what initially happened. The masks we all have access to won't do anything to prevent you catching it.
Stress that it is to prevent unknowingly spreading the disease. Being considerate of others in your community. People are much more likely to respond to that concept.
Then don't try to represent this as a killer disease, which they did initially. It does spread very easily, and we have no resistance to this transmission.
My favorite is when they say "if you don't want to wear a mask, then don't go anywhere"
The reverse js just as true a statement, if you don't want to be exposed, don't go anywhere"
So for me, it is not a big deal to wear a mask when I am going anywhere I am in close proximity with others.

Well, everything was pretty much closed then.ac04 said:

except all the essential businesses that remained open throughout.
i guess we'll see in due time if there's a mandate in collin/denton/tarrant. one way to prevent that would be for more people to voluntarily wear them.

i remember when abbott said the same thing. things are changing pretty fast lately.
like i said, we'll see in time. your prediction is noted.
Whats interesting is you can actually view cases in last 7 days / last 14 days / all-time, by zip code:
https://covid-analytics-pccinnovation.hub.arcgis.com/
Theres a total of 4,400 new cases in the last 14 days. Some of the 4,400 aren't loaded on map yet, but viewing "New Cases in the last 14 days", the worst zips as currently reported are -
75211 (Cockrell Hill/Oak Cliff) - 175
75217 (SE Dallas) - 130
75040 (Garland) - 111
75207 (E. of Trinity from UTSW to Corinth) - 95
75227 (South of 30, E of downtown) - 92
75061 (Irving south of 183) - 89
Now for primary bar/restaurant areas and areas where their patrons generally live -
75219 (Oak Lawn area) - 41
75204 (Uptown/Deep Elum) - 41
75226 (Deep Elum) - 5
75201 (Uptown/Downtown) - 27
75202 (Downtown) - 3
75206 (M Streets) - 27
75214 (Lakewood) - 19
75205 (H.P./U.P.) - 5
.....So, in summary - I'm not sure that good for nothin millennials and yuppies who aren't wearing masks in Whole Foods and ice house need to be even a top 100 concern of the County....

Impossible situation? Not quite, he could at the very least let us tax paying citizens know where the local hot spots are, and at most not bankrupt hospitals by driving fear of overcrowding.
Jenkins is clinging to masks as a miracle, he has no plan and never has. Dallas County will continued to be crushed by Collin County outside of garbage deals with uber. Wear a mask if you'd like, but everyone will eventually come to the dark side...

I will say that in the last two weeks I've heard personally about a lot of cases around the central Dallas corridor, some involving hospitalization. Things have definitely trended up in the short term.
I'll take mandatory masks over going back to shutting down businesses any day.

If you're looking for hotspots there have been several restaurants that have shut down because of employees testing positive. I've of heard some in Addison, Deep Ellum and Plano.
