What crisis??? I thought Austin was full of mask worshipping progressives???????? Come on man!

[servantboy777]

What Kabuki theater. Good grief!

[cgbg]

They need to have all the sirens in town sound in unison until the killer virus is gone...

Bwahahahahaha!

[Jane Long]

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

[Skywise]

And they’re one of THE most vaccinated in the state.

And yet…

[dfwgator]

There must be bodies everywhere!

[SIDENET]

was designed for use during a disaster, which health officials say the city is experiencing.

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

"The public has to act now and help or we will face a catastrophe in our community that could have been avoided."

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?

[HighSierra5]

It couldn’t be because of all the wetbacks coming in,could it? Nah.

[mosesdapoet]

HEY AITKIN ! HOW ABOUT BLAMING THAT OPEN BORDER FOX NEWS ???

[Socon-Econ]

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.

Why did you label the link as FNC? It's a NY Post article. Same corporate family tent, but still...

[Paleo Pete]

And how many illegals carrying kung flu have been shipped into austin by president cue card?

[tflabo]

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.)

[Antoninus]

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.

[CodeToad]

Typical liberal childish histrionics.

It makes them even more of a joke.

[backwoods-engineer]

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!”

[EastTexasTraveler]

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.
