Two weeks after ending lockdown, Texas sees surge in cases

[Into the Night]

I mean, Trump was briefed about this numerous times. The military warned him. There was a PDB in early January about it. He's just lazy and didn't care.




If the buck does not stop with him, with whom does it stop?

Thing is, I don't even blame Trump because you cannot expect a dung beetle to do anything other than haul dung, you cannot expect a raccoon to not eat trash, and you cannot expect a failed reality TV show host with six bankruptcies to rise to the moment in a time of crisis.

I blame everyone who knew that about him, but choose to vote for him, 3P, or not vote, anyway.

That is where the blame lies for this.

Trump banned travel from China. Discussion to do that took about 2 weeks. Trump does not have authority to shut down the economy, and he didn't.

Facts facts facts

Not facts. Arguments. Learn what 'fact' means.

'Fact' does not mean 'proof' or 'Universal Truth'.

How many people has Texas tested vs. how many people live in the state?

The answer to that question is why the state should continue to be locked down.

Irrelevance fallacy. Testing does not prevent infection.

Has CNN ever been right? About anything? They certainly know how haul in the mindless though.

Yours and mine are pretty close, but there are some material differences. I guess this is a common problem for a site that's trying to gather and summarize data from multiple sources.

Yes, I agree. I think it is difficult for any one state to keep accurate updated figures.

"We use the seven-day average because states are inconsistent in reporting data, so what might appear to be a massive one-day spike could simply reflect cases that weren’t updated fully over the weekend..."

No, Trump's lazy response caused the deaths and need for social distancing.

so the virus had nothing to do with that? People's behaviors had nothing to do with that?

Trump's just the boogeyman. Interesting I don't agree but interesting nonetheless.

No, but he is an impeached President, and the buck stops with him.

but he was impeached for nothing legitimate.

So your Masters the government and you can't do anything for yourself you need the government to do it for you?

That's kind of pathetic.

And an evil god at that. Strange people, these Democrats.

Yep they wasted four years freaking out about trying to boot him out of office, knowing they didn't have anything. And completely forgot how to win in the election.

I don't know if the Democrats will recover from this. Do presidential candidate it's a senile 76 year old man who was exposed it's a criminal because of their investigation.

It makes me wonder are they pranking the United States. They had some good people running, at least the kind of people that are considered good for Democrats. At least they didn't pick the worst but the second-worst.

It's like a big joke with these people. The idiots in the house obstruct him at every possible turn and then holler at him for their obstructinon

That was as big nothing as can be imagined. Trump even admitted after the ban 40,000 Americans came home landing in 17 different cities. No, they were not scanned. Trump said that to fool the illogical who wish to believe he is not clueless.

So he did it on purpose to kill people for what reason?

They were all instructed to self quarantine for two weeks. Its been already proven that afebrile people can transmit the virus so quarantine is more effective. They were Americans so he couldn't lock them up.

Thanks for finding that article it confirms what I have been saying.

The answer to that question is why the state should continue to be locked down.

A lot of Texas does not need to be tested heavily. Dallas County is testing heavily and so is Tarrant County (Fort Worth) and the positivity rate is declining.
