They re-named Influenza A and had the media pile on with the Fear Factor.

It has been a whole year. A WHOLE FRICKING YEAR.

“Texans are just stubborn cusses.”
What does that make South Dakotans and Floridians then? The people of Florida Rebelled against lockdown in large numbers early on. Their Governor lifted all restrictions at the end of August 2020.
South Carolina never issued state lockdown orders at all. I was shocked and disappointed in Abbott. Still am.

Dying? People are busy in Texas. It’s time to disc the fields and turkey season starts in 2 weeks!

Most people in Texas are still wearing masks and practicing infection control. The spread of Covid-19 is driven primarily by those who do not take infection control seriously.

You will never see a sudden jump in cases, since case growth is a logarithmic process. It takes time for each infected person to infect others. What you will see is an acceleration of case growth over time. How much it will accelerate depends on how many people fail to observe infection control measures.

I record the case numbers every morning. This morning, there were 6,919 new cases in Texas. This is the highest number since March 6. Whether the daily new case number continues to increase depends on how many idiots choose to ignore infection control and get close enough to other unmasked people to breathe each others’ air.

Oh look.

Texas DIDN’T turn into a mass grave of COVID afflicted bodies.

Fifteen days (and a year) to flatten the curve.

Well, the curve was flattened a year ago, like they wanted.

This past year of oppressive tyranny was completely unjustified.

Few items of note:

1. About a third of Texans have already had COVID-19 and recovered.
2. About a third of Texans are too young (by standard demographics stats) to be affected - children.
3. Which leaves the remaining third, of which about one fifth or so have been vaccinated as of a week or so ago.

Simply put, there aren’t a whole lot of people in Texas left to infect, percentage wise. The general lifestyle and urban design in Texas (mostly spread out, relatively little use of mass transit) don’t lend themselves towards rapid disease spreading either. In fact, the Texas urban sprawl is one factor credited for stopping Ebola cold when it appeared in Dallas during the Obama administration. We just don’t have the population density or mass transit system usage (because of the lack of population density) that creates the conditions to let a plague rip through the urban population, let alone rural.

TRUTH IS that the LEFTISTS “LOOK DOWN UPON” & HATE blue & pink collar people & would NOT care if we all died, provided that there were enough LOW CLASS (and PREFERABLY NON-citizens, who will do those jobs CHEAP) people left to clean their houses, mow their lawns & care for their kids.

Fwiw, in 1983 & 1984 I lived in one of the RICHEST ZIP CODES in the nation & my neighbors thought that I was “more or less OK”, as I had rented & lived in the estate’s caretaker’s cottage & over that 2+ years drove the CRIMINALS out of the neighborhood.
(The “wandering thugs” were, with excellent reason, SCARED TO DEATH of “Belle” & “Starr”, i.e., my pair of spayed Doberman bitches.= It didn’t take long for the creeps to decide to LEAVE our area & go cause trouble elsewhere.)

Yours, ex-cadet
