TYLER, Texas — In an interview with CBS19 on Friday, Governor Greg Abbott said a lack of masks and a spike in COVID-19 could, as a last resort, lead to "the necessity of closing Texas down."

Nurses say there aren’t more hospitalizations FOR corona. They count any hospitalization For ANYTHING with a positive test as a corona case even if not sick with it.

The anti-mask comes from the view that it is unamerican.

Dear Governor Abbott:

No more of this nonsense. Protect those at greatest risk like the elderly or diabetics, and let the rest of us go about our business. We have NEVER shut down for other diseases, not even ones many times more lethal than the Wu Flu.

I didn’t vote for a Democrat to be my governor, so stop acting like one!

Maybe Gov Abbott has the Gov Goodhair affliction.

Becomes conservative ONLY at campaign/election time.

Cornball has it, as well.

“Cornball has it, as well.”


Cornholio defines the term, “fair weather conservative.” Fair weather occurs only for about 15 months before any upcoming election in which he is a candidate.

He is commenting on people not wearing masks not that there is a shortage of masks. There is a statewide order in affect until 8/28/20 unless it is lifted sooner.

He is trying to tell people to wear them so we can continue to keep business opened. People are not doing it I guess so I think he is telling people better do it or the virus won’t go away and we will have to shut down again. At least this is what I believe he is saying.

What about Lt.Governor Dan Patrick????

He’s absolutely saying the opposite....on Laura Ingraham

He says he’s THROUGH listening to Dr. Fauci.....

I know he should support Abbot but he’s really mad and suggests this hype is all wrong!!!!!

Conservative rural area of north central Florida. It’s just like hill country, but without the liberals. No stupid yearly car inspections that do nothing, no huge daily traffic jams, no idiotic extra-territorial jurisdiction (unconstitutional, IMO)...

“Why is nobody fighting back in Abbott’s decrees?”

Why is nobody telling Abbott not to end a sentence with a preposition? It’s shameful, I tell you! Shameful!

Fighting back is good, too. ;)

I know the N95 supply has dried up, plus the local hospital here is giving local crafters the fabric to sew into cloth masks for them.

Time to change governors.

You're not kidding. Next time this slimy bastard is up for reelection, I'm all in on any challenger. I don't normally give money to political campaigns, but in his case I'll make an exception.

There’s an N95 manufacturing facility south of the DFW metro-plex.... so wonder where the masks are going.

I didn’t realize that Abbott is suffering from TDS.
