Health officials in Austin issued an emergency alert over the weekend that the COVID-19 situation in the city was “severely worsening” and has reached a “critical” point.

The “Warn Central Texas” alert system was designed for use during a disaster, which health officials say the city is experiencing.

The alert was distributed on Saturday by text, phone calls and email to residents in Austin and nearby areas of Travis County.

“Our hospitals are severely stressed and there is little we can do to alleviate their burden with the surging cases,” Austin-Travis County Health Authority’s Desmar Walkes said in a statement. “The public has to act now and help or we will face a catastrophe in our community that could have been avoided.”

Are the homeless camps suddenly shrinking in size, or disappearing?

They sure aren't on the West coast.

I guess that being homeless makes you immune.

A disaster so bad that they had to tell us about it, or nobody would notice.

Act on what? Austin is at a high level of vaccinations (maybe the highest in Texas), yet they are screaming about stressed medical services. Any chance the illegals streaming into Texas have something to do with that?

Yep.

That was my first clue, in 2020, that this was a ScamDEMic....when all of the homeless, in the supposed China virus “hot bed” of L.A., we’re NOT dropping like flies.

We know of THREE “vax”d friends (not illegals...lol), in the Austin area, who are now sick w/China flu.

What they aren’t telling everyone...this is a pandemic of the “vax”d.

Maybe a good ‘action’ would be for the “vax”d to isolate 🤷‍♀️

Attention Texas Republican legislators: you need to reign-in Austin; the Democrats there are running wild. You reigned in that city’s rogue prosecutor a while back, and you can do the same for other officials.

Meanwhile the tyrants in control censor and repress low cost treatments like the medical protocols for Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. India staved off surges of Covid with Ivermectin but our clowns at the NIH and CDC get their bread buttered by forcing the Vax’s upon us. The head of CDC had to admit that the vaccinated can still spread Covid and they can still catch it too. Only sheeple’s hang on to their every word.

..............Austin “Officials” have spent decades earning their “laughable” reputation worldwide. I was at the Hyatt in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia once having lunch and the table next to me was telling jokes about “Liberal Austin”. Most of the jokes were leaning toward the idea that it was a risky place to invest a lot of money due to flaky/unstable politicians.

I obviously didn’t tell any of them I was a life long Austin resident (No more, I’m in a neighboring county now.)
