re: Texas surge in Covid cases.....lies and deceit

Do YOU think it has been handled correctly? What do YOU think could’ve been done differently? What do YOU think should be done going forward?

No. We closed down to quickly. You’re now seeing states that didn’t have a chance to have the virus run its normal course have the virus run its normal course.

I would have been fine with an initial week or two shutdown to allow hospitals to prepare with PPE and plans. But then, open it up.

Picking winners and losers in the economy based on “necessity” was dumb. It still is dumb. Liquor stores and pot dispensaries are essential?

Going forward, we go forward. There’s no area that’s seeing hospital capacity that they can’t handle. Houston’s hospitals say they can handle it and they’re the most crowded in the country at the moment. In 60 days, they’ll be done with their surge. That’s the virus.

I would like to see concrete plans and some visions for what society looks like. School superintendents should say up front “if we have X new cases in a week, that’s our threshold to do something different.” Without doing that, everything is going to be run by reaction. And that’s stupid.
