re: Why is the GOP so weak? Governors bending the knee everywhere re Covid

I do understand the people of the country are confused and fed up with it.
What normally-functioning countries are doing is making this issue non-political and members of major parties are standing together in public and wearing masks and all speaking together about the benefits of a unified public health policy to suppress the outbreak.
If we had a normally functioning situation with a normal Republican president, you would have the president and the Democratic nominee standing together on the same podium and telling everyone we needed to pull together to recover from this.
But instead of calling for this, we've got a president that was tweeting to "liberate" states with governors he opposes. Voices of people are calling for abdication of public health policy that is suppressing the outbreak effectively in other places are being amplified here. We're a mess.

He’s too much of a pussy to admit he wants more shutdowns. He’ll dance around that for the next three pages.

Instead of being truculent, would you admit that Texans started increasing social proximity too soon?

It's sad to see so many "Republicans" take the WWDD (what would dimocrats do) route whenever the decision gets a little tough.

I said exactly the opposite. My most common statement was that the Trump Tower meeting did NOT constitute improper collusion ... only incompetence by Trump's staff/family.
But keep lying. You seem to have a receptive audience.

NIH avoids expressing substantive positions like Tom Sawyer avoided manual labor.

No. They shut down before they had an outbreak of the virus. Simply compounding the economic meltdown by having to consider doing it twice.
Another question you won’t answer, is Italy testing asymptomatic patients?

Is the only data point you're correlating this with is rise in new cases? How is the death rate in Texas?
They've had 2,424 people die and New York has had over 31,000. Even California has had almost three times as much as Texas. Those two states have been locked down the whole time while texas has been open.

Please explain how a virus is a hoax. I am in healthcare. I can actually see the numbers in the hospital in Houston. We are still fine here, but there is a very real danger in about a week. Covid patients in ICU stay there 2-3 weeks. A few hospitals are currently diverting patients to other hospitals. I do feel we are ok, but we need to get it back in control. As the virus is better understood, guidance changes. I was very much against masks a few months ago, but have seen research that shows they are needed. Just do some research and try to go with the facts, not the opinions.
And I'm a Trump voter, not against opening things, BTW. We just need to be selective about what we do. Bars closing is a good idea!

Big time libertarian. Voter of Bush, McCain and Romney.
Are you contributing to the newly formed super pac of Bush lackeys voting for Biden?

Harris County still has not topped 400 deaths as of a couple of days ago. If anything, the only variable they really fricked up was not figuring out a solution with the hospitals. I’d imagine a lot of people who probably did not need to be admitted were to make up for lost revenue, now the hospital’s primary revenue maker has been shut down by Abbott.

Is Texas/Harris county still not showing data in the new positive cases? Like around age and demographic.
The spike in Cali and Florida is all younger people but that data is available publicly.

Hank is right about realpolitik and he knows the libertarian solution to this problem will yield the political price of hundreds of thousands of deaths, largely falling on the elderly voting base of governors. They read the polls and they hear about the other attendant costs to the medical system. People will have to start forgoing elective care again, more bailouts for medical systems, etc.
You try mandatory mask-wearing and should that fail, yes, force social distancing.
