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.

Your first key that this is not an emergency is that they released the text on Saturday. They so want this emergency (probably to blame Gov.

Typical liberal childish histrionics.
It makes them even more of a joke.
ALL LIES. I knew they would use that emergency alert system for political purposes, like they use everything else.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Federal Emergency Alert Test today says “YOU MUST TAKE THE VAX!”
