Not saying that means anything from a viral spread standpoint but if you were analyzing the two images - that at least stands out.

Shame the virus doesn't favor one political party over another.

You sure? What about the fact that cases are surging along the border?
What were the Mexicans protesting?
They're surging in the DFW area, too.
It all comes down to Abbott being one of the most aggressive with his opening. It had to be expected. California opening up now and spiking. This isn't rocket science. There's more interaction so more cases. I don't think he should be going backwards though.
Regarding a checkpoint from Texas into Louisiana. It would hurt Louisiana more than Texas. Would be stupid on JBE's part but that's never stopped him.

Liberals are legit nutcases.

Not worse. Equally risky during a pandemic.
It is not irrational to institute restrictions while your healthcare system is being strained, which it seems is the case in at least parts of Texas.

I don't understand. I thought it was expected that cases would rise. If no one is dying or gong to the hospital then what is the issue?

Y’all can come to Chiraq if you want some Phase 4 freedom. Bring your bulletproof vests

the metric should be hospitalizations. I mean the initial reasoning for shutting down was to put less pressure on the hospitals. Well the media morphed it into cases and idiots lop it up like because there is a new case people should freak out.
The fear mongering over just cases is so fricking annoying. There isn’t a correlation in the more serious metrics and we should be celebrating that, not shutting back down.

are the bars closed indefinitely until abbott changes his mind?

I have not seen any evidence that it is the case.
Hospitals were doing more elective procedures that had been backed up for months.
The hospitals from my understanding are even't close to be strained, especially if you halt those.

So many masks...
Remember, all it takes is one person to spread it.

This is correct. Now that we are in mass testing, with more than 10,000 tests every day in a state, the raw number of positive test results will increase, without there necessarily being an increase in the negative aspects of the virus. Hospitalization and death counts provide greater insight into the severity of the infection and its impact. We shouldn't make large scale public health decisions based upon raw numbers of positive tests, when there is no corresponding increase in true negative health impact.

its okay to say both. perfectly reasonable to assume cases are rising because of the protests AND the overcapacity of bars, etc
Agree. I will always feel that a packed indoor, climate controlled establishment, with mostly still air, will be much more conducive to spreading the virus than any outdoor activity, whether it be a protest, people hanging out at the beach or ballpark, or whatever it may be. It's been proven that heat and humidity can affect the virus. Those elements do not come into play if you are inside whether it is summer or winter.

It’s not raw data, it’s positivity rate. That would be a concerning number if the other metrics were spiking along with it.
