    you state these as if they are facts, but you provide no justification for your comments.

    It is so refreshing to know that our statewide lockdown was for nothing, and it only took two months (May and June) to eliminate all progress made. Great job Greg Abbott, I can’t wait to vote you out of office in 2022.

    Really, Abbott? You are going to try this bullshit after finally coming to your senses about halting Texas’ reopening due to drastically rising numbers of new cases this week? You are a disgrace, and I wish we could force all Texas Republicans out of office immediately.

    If bigotexxx had an elderly loved one who contracted Covid-19, would he shrug it off and say “oh well, he or she was eventually gonna die anyways, the virus just accelerated it?”

    tell that to the family of 2 acquaintances that I know who have died from this virus, or the families of the 120k+ who have died

    such a POS

    they do not care...logic and reasoning have flown out the window

    we are fcked when it comes to this virus until they come up with an effective vaccine or it mutates into something weaker

    it is up to the citizens to exercise common sense because the leadership is just not there for the most part...it’s too bad the low IQ MAGA crowd is so dumb

    Why is there a 6k person convention in Houston, and to make it worse, masks won’t be required? Why? What is the logic? This is irresponsible behavior of the highest order.

    oh i got more but you can't handle it

    seriously bigtexxx, there is good news in front of us, if only you and your GOP friends come over to the side of science and we all work toward a solution... remember, pretty much every modern nations are more successful than us and there are many nations that have contained this virus well.... we can still get there, hold it until we get to effective treatment or vaccine (maybe as early as in 6M) and viola... we can be back to normal.

    but that's not going to happen right. You and the right will continue to bet on wishful thinking and unnecessarily gamble away our collective health and economy

    for our sake, i wish you and the right wishful thinking become true

    The worst part about that projection is that Harris County leads the state in numbers.

    Please make statements backed up with facts. Look at deaths per capita. We are doing much better than many developed countries. Take out Cuomo’s disaster and we look even better.

    How many? Back that up with facts. Start with Texas. Don't forget to acknowledge our rapid rise of infections will subsequently increase our death rate, and both are projected to keep rising dramatically. Check out TMC website for a start. If you don't think deaths will rise with the rapid rise in cases you are not listening to any medical experts.

    If you think this isn't something to worry about, then you might just be following the Trump logic. The plague is over.

    Only two US states are reporting a decline in new coronavirus cases

    "inappropriate individual behavior" that has enabled the spread of the virus.

    'Window is closing' for US to get coronavirus under control, Trump's HHS secretary warns

    Do you think our pandemic right now is concerning in Texas?

    Do you think it is over?

    Take a look at the trend in those countries and compare it to the US and Texas today.

    You left out the 206 countries/territories with lower death rates than the US, and the 178 countries/territories with less than Texas
