Gov. Greg Abbott: Texans Should Wear Masks in Their Own Backyards Until COVID-19 Vaccine is Ready

Abbott demanded last week for Texas residents to wear masks at all times, even if they are in their own backyards, to stop the spread of COVID-19. “People need to understand that until we have better medications that can treat COVID-19, until we have the vaccines that will end COVID-19, people must maintain vigilance, even when just gathering with family members, to make sure you do continue to wear masks,” he added.

What the hell happened to him?

Nothing. The only time he talks like a conservative is when he's running for reelection. Notice that he "talks" like one, doesn't actually do anything.

He needs to get the hell out of Austin for awhile and travel around to sane zones. At this rate I would rather have Willy Nelson as Governor. At least he can entertain

He's absolutely right. I'm tired of people thinking they can just do without masks if they are with family. That's how family gets infected. It's how teenagers ended up with dead parents (in GA) or many family members are killed by covid (in CO).

You'll all be safe if you just hide under your bed with your masks on.

I sent him an email and suggested what he can do to himself.

Yup. Some folks have an obsession for pills, tablets, shots, serums, vaccines, etc. The last needle I got was a tetanus shot 60 years ago.

Excellent point. What if a vaccine is never found? Just like Dr. fraud claim and he will find a cure for HIV/AIDS and he never did. If we never find a cure or vaccine for CCP virus, are we just supposed to canceled every sporting event or play them in empty stadiums, keep bars and restaurants shut down or at such low capacities they’re forced to go out of business, cancel every fair, concert, car show, etc. forever?

I have yet to see or hear a liberal even discuss that aspect.

He still needs to shut and open up the State. We aren’t going to wait for a vaccine!

You really are scared, aren't you? You're not just concerned ... you're really as frightened as your words imply?

I can't tell you how incredibly sad I find that to be. I'm serious and I hope you recover soon. Cheers!

There’s a fair amount of evidence it’s transmitted by “solid bodily waste” left on people’s hands when they don’t wash properly, and then they leave traces of it on doorknobs, stair banisters, etc.

The Hong Kong flu epidemic in 1968-1969 was killing roughly as many people as the CCP Virus and there was no talk whatsoever of masks, social distancing, vaccines, staying home, altering the 1968 election, or anything else.

There was even a rather large, multi-day concert in the summer of 1969 in the midst of it all.

There’s not even any real evidence that masks have any effect on the spread of the virus.

He’s not been far off. He’s a disappointment.
