We’re just a bunch of Neanderthals.
Texans are just stubborn cusses.
It has been a whole year. A WHOLE FRICKING YEAR.
Because it’s all BS and lies. From the beginning.
Texas is at the top of my list of places to retire.
Just 2 more weeks.
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.
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.)

I read the news about people having to wear masks and lockdown in other states and think I'm reading about another planet. We haven't had that around my part of the country.
People walk around without masks, go to stores without them and eat in restaurants without them. It's pretty much business as usual where I live and has been for some time now.
Which leads me to the same conclusion I have had since the beginning, masks don't work, lockdowns don't do anything to stop the virus and all of these onerous mandates in other states has more to do with totalitarian political science than real science.
Not unlike the climate change scam the democRATS have been trying to pull on us for decades now.
There is always another agenda going on than what they are telling us. They always have ulterior motives in mind.
Watch what they do, not what they say. They have perfected their "smoke and mirrors" strategies down pat.
We have been conned yet again by the Left's "don't let a crisis go to waste" mentality.
And I will repeat: the democrat party and all who vote for democrats are the enemy. They all demand government smite, control, arrest, tax, steal from or murder the people that the democrat party voter hates.
Better question - why are not all “homeless” dead by now?
If the virus was so dangerous how is it that those that ignore most societies “rules” seem to be thriving.
My wife and I celebrated our second vaccine injection on Friday by having dinner at San Antonio’s Riverwalk. We kept our masks near by, but didn’t wear them. The San Antonio mayor has said he is keeping the mask mandate in the city, yet few on the crowded Riverwalk were wearing them.
Our dinner table overlooked the water. At first, all of the “Go Rio” boat riders going by were wearing masks. It was obvious the boats weren’t allowing any one on without a mask. Our restaurant had a sign demanding masks, but it was not enforced. Yet, about half way through our meal, a boat went by with with only one or two of the two dozen plus riders with masks on. After that, the boats were the same. It seemed like the mask mandate for the boats had been lifted.
I have been expecting an increase in covid cases in Texas. It’s not from the lifting of masks and lockdowns. Rather, it’s from the hoards of covid sick illegals that Biden has invited to cross our borders.
It appears that not even the flood of Wuhan flu infected illegal aliens has had an affect on Texas cases. (yet?)
