Quote it in a reply and it will show you. Don't have to post it, either.

Real talk - Covid has given us a world that the germaphobes and introverts love and they will fight to keep it as long as possible. The let's keep wearing masks because it helps prevent other illnesses is Exhibit A.
It's also given us a world that lazy ****s love and will fight to keep as long as possible. Covid is a convenient excuse to not go to work (or work at all). Why should I work when the government will just keep sending me checks? Bring on that next round of stimulus relief!
Can't wait until Abbott lists all COVID restrictions, businesses are actually allowed to operate normally again and Lina & Sly hold these meaningless press conferences trying to get into pissing matches with the Gov........and they get their asses kicked.....again.
1 year anniversary of the creation of this thread. Here's hoping that it will be irrelevant soon.
I hope so as well.
Over the weekend, my wife told me she got a new student in her class on Friday. Like you'd expect, she asked where he moved from, and he told her "New York." When she asked what brought them to the Houston area, he told her "we can go to school here."

That's terrible
Has anyone see talk or proposed legislation to make the vaccine mandatory. Or that businesses will be held liable and thus not allow you in if you can't prove you've been vaccinated?

This has all been mass hysteria any way you cut it.
If you scare people enough, reason and logic go out the window and they'll agree to anything.
The biggest lie is the easiest to get away with as long as you stay on message and keep telling it.
Really is unbelievable that this charade is still going on.
I think the economic damage caused is gonna catch up and hit hard. Hope I'm wrong.
The economic damage will be intense. We just haven't gotten to that point where places are reopened and I don't know who's tracking closures.

Houston living up to its reputation as an international city, has all the COVID variants in circulation:
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/02/28/world/covid-19-coronavirus/28virus-briefing-houston-variants
From the article:
"Some critics, including Dr. Eric Topol, the founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, have said that the attention given to the succession of new variants "scariants," he has called them has done little more than frighten the public.
Dr. Musser agreed, referring to such reports as "mutant porn." Highlighting the existence of variants without indicating whether they make any functional difference to real-world patients was no more enlightening than collecting stamps or identifying the birds flying overhead, he said: "'There's a bird. There's another bird.'""

He added: "I think the crucial thing in all of this is that it is extraordinarily difficult for both the medical and lay public to really sort through all this noise about variants. At the end of the day, does any of this mean a hill of beans to anyone?"
"The big issue is to try to get things toned down."

How can she outline "buckle down" when we're already at the highest criticality rate based on her own metrics? I see that stupid informational billboard declaring "code red: stay home stay safe" every time I'm commuting to my job (which I've been going to since last May)

Well you heard her...Buckle down fellas!!
Bet Abbott's press notes got leaked to her and she's trying to get some fear in
we'll see what he says ... guessing he'll puss out and 'suggest' some things, but leave it to the local Lina buttholes
I agree, he's all about hedging
Looks like we had our first ever under 200 covid cases day according to the TMC site.
Eta: looks like I lied. Missed the 2/17 one

2/17 is because we were all frozen without power, so this seems like a true number for March 1FalconAg06 said:

Yeah but how many variants?????!!!!!
I think he is going to set a future date like 3/15 for when restaurants, bars, gyms, and other businesses can re-open at 100%, but I don't see him giving a firm date on lifting the mask mandate. Instead, he will say something like "my team, in coordination with state and federal health experts will continue to monitor the situation moving forward and will get back to you at a time when we feel it is safe to lift the mask mandate. We are happy with the progress the great state of Texas is making towards having no masks become a reality"
More than likely, and he'll wonder back to his office and still wonder why he polled 0.0 at CPAC and people like DeSantis and Noem are double digits.
Question, if Abbott says "Take 'em off" and releases the mandated mask order. Can Sly and city council write their own ordinance and implement their own?
I remember early on Lina and Sly attempted to implement lockdown orders above and beyond what the state had ordered and they were denied. Counties fall under state jurisdiction and unlike incorporated cities, they cannot order their own ordinances.
This would all fall under emergency powers after a declaration, but I'm unclear what cities and counties could possibly do.

Abbott's orders Trump Lina and Sly. Only work around I can think of is if the cities try to make it part of health code which I'm sure Abbott would probably nix tooAlaskanAg99 said:

I believe this to be true, if Abbott lifts the order I'm sure they'll attempt something.

More likely he says bars and restaurants can start phasing back to 50% / 75% open, not that that makes a difference because we're basically there anyway, and that restrictions on senior facilities, etc are off given most of that population has been vaccinated.
Likely to hear vaccination opening up for Phase 1C and beyond this month and in April with a surge in new supply availability.
Mask off in May / June but that's just my wildcard guess. It's the lease politically fraught thing to keep in place and doesn't affect businesses.
