Texas is at war with itself over how to handle the coronavirus

As he gathered on the White House lawn for an event on deregulation last week, Kevin Roberts, executive director of the powerful Texas conservative group Texas Public Policy Foundation, found that others kept pressing him for news from home. They wanted to know: Would Texas shut down again?

In Houston, where booming Covid-19 cases have pushed many hospitals beyond their intensive-care unit capacity for the first time, doctors have been sounding alarms for weeks. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, the Democratic elected executive...

Hey Bussey lets put those rioters at your house!! I bet you will be begging Trump for armed Forces then lmao

johncbussey Stay out of TEXAS!!!!!

2.4.1.1.2...

America is at the same war.

Texans don’t hide in fear like libs.

Simple answer is no.

Texas C-19 numbers are improving - hospital VACANCY is on the rise. GovAbbott shows how unpopular someone can quickly become when their sole focus is on maximizing media/majority approval. He mandates masks, but scraps the mask in front of elonmusk to avoid looking too liberal.

GregAbbott_TX has bigger political aspirations than just Governor of Texas, but if he shuts down Texas again or allows it to be, his political career is over

No, it won't, eh!

science/political ambitions............

Covid-19 will answer that question...

Has any media, the balls to report DEATHS by AGE Group?....every day there is the Positve Case Spin to keep fear and hysteria at its peak.....I believe the death rate is near zero.....and near all deaths are old folk and not those that can go to school or work.

What happened?...........😕🙄

Cause they faking the numbers by 16x

hey, remember those Phase I, II, III guidelines the CDC published? yea, nobody followed them

An opinion only

Keep electing idiots in this country and we’ll be subject to bad decision making year in and year out. Vote.

You can't do it halfway. There needed to be a hard shutdown until total cases were low and testing and tracing were in place. We hurt businesses, but got none of the benefit because he opened early.

the virus does not fear the boss. the virus is the boss. it defines the terms of battle. we need to deploy weapons against the virus that can defeat it. half measures aren't going to cut it. we have examples from all over the world on how to shut it down.

The fact that Abbott, in his own words, says that he doesn’t like masks, sends an absolute message that has cultivated confusion and resentment throughout our communities. Through failure of informed and decisive leadership, Greg Abbott has killed thousands.

Quarantine the sick and no masks. Economically sanction corporations requiring masks for customers.

No, one political Party has declared war on everyone and everything except this virus.

Most people with 'case' of Covid survive, many with few symptoms. Some experience +/- flu level symptoms. Only a tiny minority require hospitalization. Even fewer have died. AVERAGE age of Covid death is 80. Treatment is better. We must act sensibly but stop genning up fear.

Mother Nature is on her way.

No we’re not. Live life. Moving on.....

Texans are now fumbling to fight the invisible novel coronavirus, which was worser than Don Quixote's challenging with his phantasmic windmill enemy.

Hi from Texas. It’s clear how to handle coronavirus, but our republican politicians are too cowardly to do the right thing. Framing it as a failure of leadership rather than a controversy could save lives. Your help on this front would be appreciated.

he will do whatever trump tells him to do

Texas cases have been trending down. Leave it up to the media to suggest the worst solution to every problem.

If you don’t declare war against corona,you become POW

Why has the Covid focus shifted to 'cases' with little mention of hospital capacity and deaths? When did it change from, 'We have to be ready for a virus that is here and which many will get,' to 'Nobody must die anywhere in the US,' because if 1 person dies the US has failed?

Any place that tedcruz is a resident is place full of dumbasses.

Irrational. Fear. Stop

Texas Republicans are confused..

Stop testing and carry on.

No more shutdowns in Texas!! Open all businesses and let people assume risk of their own choices, as with every other virus out there. They need to stop sending patients from the border cities all over Texas and spreading disease in hospitals. Set up temporary hospitals.

They should

Do people who don’t live here in TX understand how inept and brainwashed by Trump GovAbbott is? Serious question.

Texas (and every state) needs to do whatever is necessary to contain the virus and protect the health of its citizens.

So pray for them . Don’t let them down and scare . Give them some energy words . If you can’t STF up

They won’t have the gut and resolve to shutdown

This being Texas, the second amendment can probably solve this political impasse.

Just cure it....🙊🙉🙈
