Texas Gov.: Virus spreading at “unacceptable rate,” shutdown remains last option

Gov. Greg Abbott acknowledged Monday there are some alarming coronavirus trends in Texas over the last week and the virus "must be corralled."
"COVID-19 is spreading at an unacceptable rate in Texas," the governor said.
Texas reported its largest daily increase in COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began on Saturday. When comparing the numbers in late May to the last five days, they've doubled across the board.
Cases are up from about 1,500 a day to more than 3,500. Hospitalizations have jumped from about 1,600 a day to more than 3,200. The percentage of people testing positive is up to 9 percent, compared to 4.5 percent in late May.
"If that spike continues, further action will be necessary," he said.

Take it up with Emperor Abbott.
*That’s what a powerful Republican state senator called him a few days ago.

This is total hospitalizations. Not a new daily number. The state still has over 12,000 available hospital beds.

Sooooo, time for JBE to stop Texans at the border and turn them around?

What is the death rate trend?
What is the amount of time in hospitals?
How many are asymptomatic as compared to symptomatic?
How many in the ICU?
What is the age trend?

Texas never turned anyone around at the border. They were ordered to proceed to their destination and self-quarantine for 14 days.

Are you still quarantined?

Harris County has less than 400 deaths total. Imagine being a small business owner who just re-opened and you have these dipshits dangling another shutdown over your head.

Where are your boys Cruz and Gohmert allowing this to happen? Not saying anything publicly.

A fancy way of saying that you have nothing. That's all that you had to say.

Mainly focusing on testing statistics is fear mongering imo. We should only be worried about hospital cases and the strain put on the hospital system.

Actually, he said this:
Interesting how he said “keep wide open for business.” The dude can’t stop from undercutting himself.
Did he really think people would listen to him any longer after repeatedly stating that no one should be jailed for violating his orders? You reap what you sow.
