    Newsom should have made masks mandatory a lot earlier. Aside from serving as an important protective measure, it signals how serious the situation is and encourages other measures, like staying home and social distancing. Right now it looks like SoCal is really ****ing us.

    So what will Gov. Abbot do?

    Continue on this pace of the virus spreading more each or go into containment mode?

    Seems he's finally deciding to start giving out masks....probably would have been a good idea months ago.

    https://www.kwtx.com/2020/06/24/gov...e-face-masks-to-those-tested-at-mobile-sites/

    TDEM and the Texas Military Department will begin distributing the face masks on Thursday. Every Texan who is tested will receive four face masks.

    You can find the mobile testing site nearest to you by going to the TDEM map.

    On Wednesday, the governor acknowledged Texas is facing a “massive outbreak” during the coronavirus pandemic.

    I'd say a few countries in Europe didn't turn into Venezuela by issuing more restrictions. Ireland shut down pubs and restaurants and still have them closed. They nipped the spread in the butt quickly and efficiently without the uproar and disobedience we have here.

    It's like a beer commercial in that it makes me want to heavily drink.

    Option A with "smart measures", ala promoting masking and social distancing ofc.

    Now that it's a red state thing, it's not a culture war thing anymore.

    Dumb mouth breathing tribal ****ers don't realize the virus don't give a **** that it came from China or spread like crazy in NY.

    Who can provide data on the patients' age for the new cases? I heard in the Dallas area it's more the younger ages, which is less of a concern (although they need to take measures to prevent spreading it to the vulnerable).

    Besides the awful reference to George Floyd, the Ben Franklin quote doesn't mean what he thinks it means. Franklin was defending the Pennsylvania Legislature's authority to tax the Penn family to pay for defense during the French and Indian war. It was literally about the government having the authority to govern in the interest of public security.

    He is going to end up killing his own voters.

    I dont have a problem with idiotic morons like this existing.

    However, I do have a problem with them being elected in leadership roles.

    Also, one of my nominations for "Winner of the 2020 Irony of the Year" award. Just take a look at his favorite quote according to his own web-page...
