AUSTIN, Texas — An updated model now suggests that Texas is past the peak of deaths related to COVID-19.
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, part of the University of Washington, projects that Texas' peak daily deaths happened on Sunday, April 19th.

Size of state, few densely populated urban areas, and nice warm weather (predicted to be 95 F tomorrow here in central Texas) are helping the state. I also suspect we had a bout of COVID-19 start up months ago. 88 F today, I took the opportunity to walk a couple of local nurseries looking for plants.
‘OPEN IT UP’
if I were the governor of TX, I would be very hesitant to open anything up after watching the president rip the GA governor to shreds tonight for opening up a couple of stores that for some reason offend that president...
We were probably past the peak by the end of February.
GOD BLESS TEXAS!
Riddle me this. Covid-19 will have fun it’s course by fall. So why is Fuaci saying it’ll be worse then?
Fun = run
Houston can’t come out and play. Old Lady Judge Hidalgo says so.
This is a pretty cool website!

Restart NOWTM
A data driven approach to saving lives, livelihoods and our economic future
We’ve turned the lights off for communities across our country and around the world. Secondary impacts of the shutdowns threaten to become more serious than the virus itself. We combine data from a number of reputable sources to create a roadmap for Social Recovery by turning the economic lights on in a safe and productive manner. We need to flatten the curve of unemployment. We need to restart NOW.
Someone posted this on FR morning, I neglected to note who it was
Closing everything down was stupid. What will the PTB want to do next flu season?
Modify the model to fit the new reality....
This CV19 is all a scam, IMHO.
Too late. Texas is open for business
I think that people are at the end of their ropes over this. Doesn’t matter where one stands on the Flubro-Fearper spectrum, it’s just not possible to keep destroying peoples lives and jobs. People agreed to it because they basically trusted their governors and the president, but it wasn’t a blank check.
Either the state governors come up with reasonable “opening” strategies, or people are just going to go about their lives and use their best judgement.
‘Closing everything down was stupid.’
it was nothing but pure panic; shut almost everything down and shelter in place, indefinitely...a bullshit idea, completely...what’s equally stupid is ripping a guy on national TV for trying to undo that bullshit idea...
is the president going to dump on the governors of the nine states that haven’t shut down for their hair salons being open...? what makes their gyms any more valuable being open than the ones in GA...?
What's going to stop it?
Mutation? Vaccine? Herd immunity?
...why is Fuaci saying it’ll be worse then?
He's not, but he is saying come winter it will try to come back strong. It will only be worse if we don't keep up the social distancing.
“if I were the governor of TX, I would be very hesitant to open anything up after watching the president rip the GA governor to shreds tonight for opening up a couple of stores that for some reason offend that president...”
President Trump did nothing of the sort, and Governor Kemp did more than permit “opening up a couple of stores.” I think Kemp made three mistakes: (1) He overturned his own stay-at-home order, which was not scheduled to expire until April 30th; (2) He chose a bizarre group of businesses that will have inherent difficulty maintaining social-distance protections (tattoo parlors, hair and nail salons, etc.) to emphasize in his executive order; (3) he disallowed local governments from imposing stricter rules, thereby contradicting his own, earlier (and correct) claim that Atlanta and other urban areas are different from rural areas.
Why do they need “a model”? Can’t they just look at the real data?
Look for "outbreak" reports in September-October.
Progs will push for 100% mail-in voting.
