Truth. If we were euthanizing everyone once they turn 75 then we wouldn't be leading the world in confirmed deaths. #ronafixed

Lubys is closed and churches aren't allowing folks in. What do they have left to live for anyway?

Harris County test results (date of report) vs Harris County epi curve (date of specimen collection).

In other words, the daily "new case reports" are garbage. Harris County and City of Houston are laundering old results.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Another day, another downward trend.

And another day of silence from Governor Abbott on when businesses that are shut down or operating at 50% capacity or less are able to open back up. I sit pretty far on the right, but I'm till very unimpressed by his lack of direction/guidance for our state. I wish we had the South Dakota governor (Kristi Noem) in charge.

At this time Abbot is getting tons of stuff from school districts working on opening up in person behind the Scenes. So this is the main focus right now. They are getting their ducks in row dealing with obvious agenda driven politics causing problems.

He's also has to deal with the same thing on businesses where county officials have twisted things to shut down businesses down. Example a brewery that was open by following the reassurance rules of 50% of sales have to food to be open. Well of course the brewery also has distribution sales of alcohol that should not be counted to have its rest open. But Hidalgo did that and shut it down. Abbot has to update rules to fix the over reach to allow it to open back up.

The over reach on schools and false numbers being used to drive an agenda is just wrong. Using kids as political pawns rubs me the wrong way.

I didn't think this was Hidalgo, I thought it was a TABC thing?

Hidalgo had nothing to do with that shut down

Just so I'm clear as to what I'm looking at, the top graph is essentially the daily report of new Cases, even if those tests were taken 2, 7 or 24 days ago. The bottom graph is essentially backdating those positives to the day they were actually taken?

This gives you a sense of the movement of the epidemic curve as cases are back-dated to the date of test. The shape of the curve constantly changes depending on what day you look at it.

I'd like to hear a plan as well, but any plan put out there is just going to be ripped to shreds. You can make it as objective as possible but it won't matter. So my second choice is silence until a new plan is announced with only a couple days of notice. At this point the Andrew Cuomo open mic press conference is only going to continue to freak people out and not helpful. Sitting up there saying "I don't know" to half the questions, breaking down emotionally, and telling everyone how hard this is will not inspire confidence.

Vote blindey for governor.

Plan:

• all shut downs end immediately
• legislature encouraged to pass bills severely limiting emergency powers for governor and any other authority across the state. Bills will be signed quickly
• legislature encouraged to pass bills allowing recall of governor and any state, county, or municipal elected politician with some form of police type power.
• One term only and then I'm getting the hell out of politics and never coming back
• I do not care what you think so please don't tell me. If I want your opinion, I will tell you what your opinion is and then ask you to repeat it back to me.

Pretty sure a few days later the TABC revised their ruling and said beer sold for distribution didn't count towards the 51% calculation and St. Arnold was able to open their outdoor patio,
