Judge Hidalgo just announced that we all have to wear masks in public as of next Monday.
True, I donāt think any COVID deaths are anything to brag about.
iāve been keeping my eye on India Indonesia and Florida hoping that heat and humidity surpresses transmission of the virus with the hope that summer will help us out, not sure Iām convinced either way.
I think a big problem we have now is the idea that hospitals are unsafe and people arenāt going there for non-COVID treatment. I had to deal with a family member yesterday and it was a lot of work to get them to go (everything is fine, they are back home), so itās important to let people know that the hospital situation is under control and they are taking every precaution they can.
I wonder how many businesses the virus has killed?
nothing about the number of homeless in Austin and the virus. last I saw Austin had rented several hotels to home the homeless with the virus then nothing
Reports out of NY are that 88% of COVID-19 patients who were intubatedā¦died.
Wear a fucking mask, people.
Some woman on a local social media site was complaining about being pressured to wear a mask. āItās your choice to wear a mask or not. If you think people should have to wear a mask, well, that says something about you, doesnāt it?ā.
Unfortunately, they donāt only kill their own, they also kill good people.

Thatās my problem. If only them not wearing a mask would be the ones to get sick.

The mask is protecting other people, not the wearer. Non-mask wearers should be shamed publicly and loudly.
It does protect the wearer, even if itās a cut up tshirt, since it prevents some hand to mouth/nose transmission.
Yes, there is a minor increase in protection for the wearer, most because of how it makes touching oneās face harder, but also because itās a reminder not to touch oneās face and also to social distance.
You know what I meant. Why canāt the whiner get sick instead of those doing what they can to prevent the spread? Because thatās not the way the world works. Someone people get the advantages/benefits of others doing what they are supposed and others pay the price.

Living in the communist stronghold of Austin, I didnāt realize the Harris County Judge enacted a mask wearing order and is being sued by some prick doctor. I also see that the usual political subjects (Patrick, Crenshaw and Paxson) see this as attack on THEIR liberties. Fuck their neighbors, they say, they want to live free. Itās hilarious what triggers those idiots. They probably want to protect their right to drive drunk also.
Any first year law student knows personal liberties yield to public health and safety measures. Amazingly no Republican now speaking during this public health crisis has any apparent knowledge of that settled principle.

They want all the rights but none of the responsibilities.
