What a joke Leroy is. I went to his Twitter feed hoping to find humor, but all I found were the blue idiots pissed off and praising Leroy. These people do realize that we are now the 16th state to not have a mask mandate right?

His silly little color coded covid risk chart still having us at RED - "stay home-stay safe" (the highest possible risk threshold) tells you all you need to know about Clay.

If it were up to him, we'd have mandatory masks each flu season from here on out.

Dallas is quickly becoming the deadliest city as it relates to the VID per Judge Leroy's stats. He keeps pumping these death counts with averaging < 500 cases will put us at a higher CFR than Afghanistan soon.

If hospitals fill back up and another shut down has to happen, we'll have us a new governor. I got my vax and my popcorn ready.

Your last two posts, 13 apart, mention that you've had the vaccine. Good for you, we get it.

When and why would a shut down happen? There will be enough vaccines for every adult in 60-90 days.

You and your popcorn are really selling your concern. So I think the assumptions are spot on

My concern or thoughts or prayers aren't going to change the outcome one way or another. So Ill just see what happens like everybody else. Guess that makes me a line jumping lib to you, huh.

I think he's taking an unnecessary political risk by opening up early. I wouldnt have done it until olds and high risk are vaccinated - likely this month. Will be interested to see how it plays out.

F16 wasn't even going to vote Perry as of yesterday. Doing this on Texas Independence day is 100% a political play. He's up for re-election and he's lost the far right. He had to do it to have a chance to win, I just don't know that he had to do it today.

If the right extreme weakens Abbott, we get Beto. Hell, might get Beto either way.

Unfortunately we have a ton of stupid people that will vote Beto. Give me the Florida governor all day. I see where the dumbass Betsy Price says this was premature?? Good luck because I don't know a single person who will wear masks after this.

If Beto couldn't win with the #nevertrump boost (not to mention the neverLyinTed boost) .... he's lost his shot.

Based on the 2020 election results - Trump basically held serve in the state (and that's WITH nevertrumps on the sidelines)....big reason being that Valley border counties had just about record % R.

Even R's that think Abbott sucks would show up to vote for him over Beto....as would most of the nevertrumps. with just that he probably wins ... but with even a little help from RGV counties? No mathematical way a leftist D (Beto) beats a milktoast R (Abbott)

Real ? I'd hope is - can Crenshaw make a run at it this soon?

US Congress to TX governor seems like a demotion to me. Allen West is the guy licking his lips right now.

Abbott will get primaried hard and deservedly so. If he loses there the R nominee should coast in the general election. If Abbott squeaks by, I envision a the possibility of a 3- or 4-way race for governor (see 2006 2014) and then we can all get our popcorn ready!

edit: I was thinking of 2006 gov election, my how time flies

Generally I agree....unless the individual is Presidential material, which I think Crenshaw is (or will be in 8 years).

How about some CV positivity? (sources twitter accounts of Clay, Abbott, and Eric Johnson, and DSHS Dashboard)

Also amazing how different the tones are of Clay vs. Abbott.

Hospitals - down to 6.86% of patients in our TSA-E are Covid related
Case counts -
3/6 - 372 (171 probable), 25 deaths (one listed as no underlying)
3/5 - 458 (135 probable), 26 deaths (one listed as no underlying, but was in his 80s)
3/4 - 781 (382 probable), 27 deaths (one listed as no underlying)
3/3 - 718 (401 probable), 26 deaths (all underlying)
3/2 - 526 (162 probable), 25 deaths (one listed as no underlying, but was in his 70s)
3/1 - 751 (83 probable), 42 deaths (four listed as no underlying, (2) 60s, (2) 80s)

CV positivity down to 7.09% state-wide
Hospitalizations down to 4,721, the lowest since Oct
225k+ vaccinations per day
Almost 1.4M vax headed to TX
50%+ of all seniors have received at least 1 shot

It's cratering but you'd never know that if you didn't do your own research. Bad news and fear always leads.

I find this to be a very different tone from Judge Clay:



I know he has been harping on the fact that the state of Texas is apparently diverting vaccines because of the FEMA megasites, but I got a strong impression before that his attitude was that there wasn't enough to go around and that non 1a or 1b people should continue the strictest of quarantines and wait their turn until the government says they can get a vaccine. Now his attitude seems to be "do whatever you can to get a shot ASAP" which is great news IMO because it leads me to believe that the demand from 1A and 1B is finally getting more fulfilled.
the_batman26: I guess yall need this, its something to take pride in. At least the Feds trusted us with the Space Center; and I seem to recall the Feds not having the best time in Dallas.

Noticed that it has been a year since the first local case (and the start of this thread), seems like an eternity ago.

265 (14 presumable) cases yesterday, all deaths are underlying (31).

"Trending down" according to Clay

Let's just keep it real for everybody:

265 cases of something with a 99% survival rate should not be news. There are 7MM people in the metroplex.

Time to move on.

No way. This crap has gone on way too long. The COVID board is wide open if you want a safe space.

Everyone else would like to get back to normal without our public officials and media trying to scare everyone back into a hole.

Also - didn't you get COVID and the vaccine? Would think you'd be as ready to move on as any.

Everyone? Hardly. Would love everything to get back to normal, but that's not possible for a few more months until everyone has had the opportunity to get the vaccine. Then we can have that conversation - but that's more of an end of May timeframe. Until then, the prudent thing is to continue social distancing and masks.
