What exactly do they expect "the public" to do about this crisis? What's the call to action here?

Answer? There isn't one. This is all about generating fear. They know their audience well and are playing them like a fiddle.

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. Abbott for it) that they declare it while nobody important is in the office. This way, they can start claiming crisis before the adults show up to shut them down.

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!”

My daughter lives in Seattle, she just told me yesterday the camps are getting massive. Growing all the time.

There may be a little natural selection going on here. The idiots in Austin will flood the emergency rooms. The rest of us just go to Tractor Supply and get cured.
