Better close the border to Louisiana again just to be sure.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) â Texas shuts down bars again, scales back restaurant dining in latest rollbacks amid surge in confirmed virus cases.
On the one hand, the lunaticsâ being in charge of the asylum is what got us here.
On the other hand, at least one or two lunatics appear to be learning.

Donât mess with Texas.
Theyâre good at making their own mess. Now letâs see if they can clean it up and keep it clean.

I was trying to find something I heard Paxton say yesterday (?), and when I Googled âPaxton Texasâ I got all kinds of interesting stuff.
Things like his felony securities fraud case goes back to Collins County.
Paxton tries again with a lawsuit against DACA.
Paxton joins other state AGs in 'end to ant-police rhetoric"-how can it calling out documented police brutality cases as rhetoric?
Paxton wants the power as AG to investigate police who kill people.
And the evergreen hope to kill Obamacare.
And now I canât remember what I was specifically looking for.

WTF, theyâre depriving all the COVID-45 carriers of their inalienable right to infect others?

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott shut down bars in Texas again on Friday and scaled back restaurant dining, in direct contradiction to the claim made just yesterday âThe last thing we want to do is go backwardsâ, made by <checks notes> Republican Gov. Greg Abbot.
Virus donât give a fuck about your economy, Abbot.

Ironically, that phrase came about from a campaign against littering in Texas.

I hope his ass gets flung out of office at the first opportunity.

So much for the âIf We Ignore It, It Will Just Go Awayâ theory of virology.

The dayâs tally of 4,739 hospitalizations was also a record.
If this number keeps climbing at the same rate as infections we are back to April in NYC, only with way less competence/resources. Thousands of people will be dying because they canât get basic treatment.

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott shut down bars in Texas again on Friday and scaled back restaurant dining, the most dramatic reversals yet as confirmed coronavirus cases surge.
Abbott also said rafting and tubing outfitters on Texasâ popular rivers must close and that outdoor gatherings of 100 people or more must be approved by local governments.
These measures are mice nuts. Theyâll piss off a bunch of people and make no difference to infection rates, leading to the inevitable cries of âsocial distancing and isolation doesnât work!â Seriously, river rafting? Meanwhile indoor church services are jes fine.

He still will not allow local control to create enforceable masks / SD policies (the workaround San Antonio and other cities came up with last week is not as effective).
When he does that Iâll know heâs more serious about actually doing something than keeping his base happy.
