You are wrong. We have so many in hospitals, the military is sending doctors to our state to have enough to treat people. There are few ICU beds available. We are going to run out of them in less than a week. The dead are stacking up, not going down. 10,000 VIRUS SICK PEOPLE DO MATTER, MANY ARE GOING TO DIE.
@Victoria33 No, I am not wrong. It is a simple matter to boost ICU units. The article itself said they won't be running out till the end of the month. That is,
there are 17 beds left, and they will not be used up until the end of the month.. By that metric, something like 8 people a week are entering ICU. Even if they all DIED, that's 24 deaths a month. In a city of how many? And how many die per month regularly?
You are so wrong. A dead husband means there is no one to make money to keep the family alive. A dead mother means no one to help with the kids because the husband must go to work. This is not a normal time - the kids cannot be put in day school or nurseries. We are back to needing mothers in the home and husbands working.
Again with emotion. And that emotion supposes something can be done about it. In the end that is false, as has been proven over and over. Everyplace quarantine, and tough strictures have been enforced, those strictures have done NOTHING to prevent infection. Nothing. EVERYWHERE the virus has lit up in cities, it has run rampant, regardless of quarantine. Regardless of masks. Regardless of 'social distancing' - Another goofy ass idea that holds no water. NONE of it has worked.
Decent masks do work;
No, they do not. Or virologists would use them.
Look, knock yourself out. Be safe. Do what you have to. But by ANY metric, making basically ALL Texans wear masks is as ridiculous an over reach as any other... And one which will have no measurable effect. Just as stupid as wearing a mask alone in your car or in the middle of a pasture. It is PLAINLY an absurdity, and one which has never been shown to be effective. Equally as absurd as quarantining healthy people and shutting down whole economies - Ridiculous overreach that has never been done in all time. How quickly we bend a knee and bow to those who will take away all we have.
Well, not 'we'. I damn well won't
