Lina Hidalgo said they will make the announcement whether to do it this afternoon.
Fucking Trump is going to ignore medical advice and send people back to work next week. Dan Patrick, a Trump sycophant, says grandparents will be willing to die to save the economy for their grandkids. This âget back to workâ mantra is murderous insanity. I hope each of you is in a position to ignore Trump and to keep yourself and those around you safe. A lot of people will die because this MF cares only about himself.

If he wants show how strongly he believes this, he should be walking the front lines shaking hands with everybody he meets.
Stay home order issued for Harris County. Not calling it âshelter in placeâ, but thatâs essentially what it is.
Also, Harris county has 500 tests available. They will run out today unless the federal government provides more. Trump says they are beautiful tests, though.
Patrick and his ilk probably wonât appreciate it, but I"m already doing something for my grandkids: Iâm working to make sure that these shits get voted out of office and our slide into autocracy is arrested.

Apropos nothing, 6 of Trumpâs top 7 revenue generating properties are currently closed due to the pandemic: Caron-a-Lago, Doral, Las Vegas, Bedminster, Turnberry (Scotland) and Doonberg (Ireland). The only one of the top 7 thatâs still open is the DC hotel (#2 behind only Doral), but the restaurants are closed and Iâm sure business is down generally.
Houston going on lockdown as of midnight tonight.
But how are people supposed to kill their grandparents if theyâre on lockdown?
Austin and Travis/Williamson counties as well until at least April 11.

Harris County is only through April 3. That should be extended.
It will be.
Meanwhile, teachers are showing up at the school across the street from us to empty out their classrooms. I havenât seen any word on HISD, but many school district have announced closures through the end of the school year.
HISD is still through April 13 but I donât think anybody views that as realistic.

We had been with a âstay at homeâ order here in O.C., Ca. for about a week when we had our 78th case. Harris Co. had their 78th case yesterday. The two counties have similarly sized populations.
Itâs better to be way too soon than one minute too late. That exponential function is a bitch.
It would help if we had any leaders who understood âexponentialâ
And the element that works in favor of the âget back to normalâ argument is that positive cases can lag 1-2 weeks behind exposure/infection, and deaths up to 2 weeks behind that. We wonât see the statistical benefits (rate of cases/deaths decreasing) of shelter-in-place for as long as a month or more; similarly, we wonât see the statistical damage (rate of cases/deaths increasing) of going back to normal for that long either.
All we have to do is somehow convince Jared to activate Trumpâs âSuper MIT Uncleâ genes. I think heâs in charge of that too.
Hey, Fauciâs back on the podium!
All we can hope for is that the States ignore the President.

At those afternoon briefings he really needs to shut the fuck up and let Fauci give the briefing.
