Texas governor Abbott closes all bars within 2 hours

**Booya711** · 06-26-20, 10:07 AM

Just succumbing to all the liberal pressure....

**Foxx** · 06-26-20, 10:11 AM

All seems kind of frivolous at this point.

**lakerboy** · 06-26-20, 10:12 AM

I ordered three pints and 20 wings. Should be good for 2 hours

Yet deaths have been staying consistent.

Is Texas like Tennessee, where they are allowing the larger counties with their own health departments to make the calls on what opens in their area?

Cases up due to BLM protests but lets blame it on white people at bars.

Fuk Abbott

Fuk Abbott

See, that's where you're wrong. Never forget what Mark Levine said weeks ago:

Mark Levine, chairman of the council's health committee, on Wednesday instructed those worried that mass gatherings would lead to an uptick in COVID-19 cases to "blame racism" instead of a lack of social distancing.
"Let's be clear about something: if there is a spike in coronavirus cases in the next two weeks, don't blame the protesters," Levine tweeted. "Blame racism."

Texas governor (republican) controls everything. He signed executive order weeks ago limiting what cities/counties can do. They cannot implement more stringent requirements than what the governor allows. The cities/counties can only recommend stuff (e.g. masks to be worn) but cannot require or implement any fines.

As Lakerboy points out, hospitalizations are through the roof in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Corpus christi. ICU's filling up. They stopped elective surgies in a number of cities due to hospitals filling up. Fortunately, deaths aren't pacing with new ICU patients (yet?). Seems as though the steroids, Remdisivor (?), and new treatment techniques are slowing down the death rate.

Data from Tx Dept of Health... kind of looks like exponential growth in hospitalizations.
Hope it slows down soon.

Laker would not meet me for a beer yesterday....He refused due to not wanting to wear a mask

We need to start setting police cars on fire, burn buldings down, throw rocks at cops, over take police departments

Florida just announced 9,000 new cases today. That's insane. That's a hot spot if I ever saw one. NBA better build a bubble inside that bubble.

**BigdaddyQH** · 06-26-20, 11:18 AM

Say good-bye to Football and Hoops for 2020. If we are lucky, Hoops will close down permanently.

**MinnesotaFats** · 06-26-20, 11:25 AM

All comes down to hospitalized rate.

FL has 30% capacity for ICU yet.

Not sure what Tex at but that's the fear

**pologq** · 06-26-20, 11:25 AM

i remember when we had the same thing done here in NYC. it becomes weird and you feel like you are in a movie watching it all on tv. nights come and there will be nothing to do except to walk around or go to the supermarket and pharmacy. i really hope for you guys it gets better sooner than later.

As Texas finishes a second week of record hospitalizations, somelocal officials are eyeing convention centers and stadiums as potential overflow facilities, reviving efforts tabled earlier in the pandemic.

Texas, late to the party but about to become the New York of the south.

**Booya711** · 06-26-20, 11:47 AM

Nothing going on here

Its not even close to New York

Texas 2300 deaths
New York 31000 deaths

Every hard working Texan should be pissed at Abbott giving in to the pathetic democrats.

Hopefully Trump can do something to end this tyranny

Cuomo sends 6000 elderly to the gas chamber
