Hospitals are lying.

“As an aside, it’s clear that the wearing of masks/daylong snot rags and the fictional “benefits” of (anti)-social distancing mandated by most of the governors aren’t doing a damn thing to “stop the spread of the virus.”

I think the jury’s out on masks, to say the least. They’re certainly working in Taiwan where they were made mandatory when in public, early-on. Ironically, little of the other crap we’re doing is even necessary, given their control of the virus.

“Abbott putting the hammer down. Yikes.”

The rising numbers put him in a spot where he had to do something.

...I also believe that people being admitted to a hospital for other reasons are being tested for Covid. If they show a positive result that is counted as a Covid diagnosis sans the actual reason for admission.

Two points:

1. If you are covid-19 positive, why enter the hospital (unless an emergency) where the virus could complicate recovery from an elective procedure?

2. Why would a hospital admit a person with covid-19 (except under emergency conditions) and risk spreading to other patients and staff ?

Unless/until either the virus loses it’s punch and disappears or there is a vaccine, life is probably going to include the occasional lock down from now on. As they say, “the new normal”.

And there is always BHT (butylatedhydroxytouluene) which disables most lipid coated viruses including the corona virus, influenza, shingles and herpes amongst many others. Suggested starting dosage is anywhere from 250mg to 450mg can be doubled for several days, but suggested to remain in the 500mg range or below. For better absorption it is recommended to dissolve BHT first in oil, olive oil will do nicely and to speed up dissolving a few seconds in a microwave or set the container with the oil solution in a hot water bath. Why dissolving in oil first? BHT will only dissolve in either oil or alcohol and by going this route it will speed up absorption and you get by using smaller amounts of it.

One suggested way is to take 200ml (milliliter) of olive oil and dissolve 18 gm of BHT, or 277.782 grains if you using a powder scale used for re-loading. Each tsp. depending on its size should give you approx. 450 mg of BHT. It is better to be pro-active by taking BHT, even so BHT will still kill the virus but it cannot cure any of the other problems which the virus may have created. I hope they come up with a vaccine, but would not hold my breath. More detailed info upon reply.

I take mine off in the restroom to wipe the sweat off my nose and mouth. It’s a bit irritating to go to the restroom more often in the day.

What does bother me about this is that is shows a lack of understanding of reality from Abbott. Most of the increase is the testing and the risk one faces if you are outside is minimal. Abbott is edgeing toward the possibility of another lock-down. This would have a catastrophic effect and solves nothing. Mail voting is the DNC goal and Abbott’s sky is falling attitude will feed the beast.

It’s called political posturing. Ever hear of it?

But to extrapolate this into Trump losing a national election is a bridge to far.

Cases, smashes. It’s DEATHS to cases that matters. That’s all that matters.

Or just until Trump is out of office, then the miracle happens, and the virus "magically" goes away!

Maybe the Dems are seeding the virus throughout the population.

Abbott is acting like a Republican

Talk Like a Conservative

Govern like a pussy

And the unspoken challenge he throws at us is:

Who else are you going to vote for?

A positive covid rest is not really a case without serious symptoms or hospitalizations. Plus a 50% error rate according to medical professionals i personally trust.

No kidding. Texas is DONE with this, nobody is going back to hide in their closets! ( a few sissy Karens in the suburbs but most people are so over this garbage!)
