You try mandatory mask-wearing and should that fail, yes, force social distancing.
What outcome are you trying to achieve? Low positive tests? Or low death rate?
If everyone wears a mask and cases continue to spike but the death rate is low and gets even lower you still want the government to mandate measures? That ultimately effect businesses.

Explain. Please be specific.
And I do not believe Texas re-opened too early. Bars and breweries should still be open. The problem was there was no coherent (and still isn’t) policy on hospitals and how to handle Covid. How many of these hospitals got burned by admitting Covid patients who would have recovered at home? The Texas Medical Center sounded the alarms for week then almost instantly backtracked after Abbott shut down elective procedures. That says it all.

Their numbers are a bit out of whack as to level of care as well. They have a much higher percentage of patients in ICU versus number of patients hospitalized than the data we’ve seen across the country. The last time I ran the calculations, you would’ve expected around 550-600 pts in ICU based on the number of hospitalizations in Harris county. They had almost 900 in the ICU.

SDV is usually buzzing about and annoying me. I did not notice that his gnat routine was directed at Doc this time.

I don’t believe we have real demographic data yet
But I’d imagine based off the bars Sylvester Turner put on his “wall of shame” that this virus is running rampant among Hispanics.

Right. And they started sounding the alarms weeks ago before Abbott tried moving to phase 3. Deaths still have not risen like they thought.

Trying to achieve low medical harm and maximal economic growth and I believe it's not shutdowns that are hurting the economy, it's people's fear of this illness. Governments handling the outbreak confidently are winning the confidence of their publics to prepare to interact more normally again and spend themselves into each others' common prosperity.
It's about promoting effective and functioning markets which Republicans used to care about.

I've seen many people on different platforms post this. It's a straight up lie. Covid patients are expensive. It also really amazes me that people think that many hospitals and physicians regularly commit fraud. That's what it is when you admit patients who don't need admission. I'm not saying this could NEVER happen, but it is so extremely rare.

And remember when Cuomo and Newsom needed those medical ships for over flow of chaos

Harris County dashboard
Harris County peaked 3 weeks ago. Where do they see that there is an uptick in cases???

Like the hapless Italians - down to 200 cases per day. We're not going to have effective state responses without an effective national response.

No. Not soon enough. The quicker people catch COVID the quicker we can achieve herd immunity.
Simply use the tried and true epidemiological protocol taught in med schools of quarantining the sick, protecting the people with comorbidities and allowing the healthy to act normal in lieu of this novel unscientific and political behavior called "social distancing".
