Texas is hitting an all-time high for COVID-19 cases and Gov. Greg Abbott told state residents to stay home unless they need to be out.

“Texas will report an all-time high in the number of cases of people testing positive of more than 5,000,” Abbott said in an interview on KBTX. “The hospitalization rate is at an all-time high. Coronavirus is spreading in Brazos County and across the entire state of Texas, which is exactly why action is being taken.”

Hours later, state health officials reported a record 5,489 new COVID-19 cases.

And the state broke its record for hospitalizations for the 12th day in a row, with the Department of State Health Services reporting 4,092 COVID-19 patients in Texas hospitals.

1. Gee...

What was vitally important in this was deemed unimportant and now, because of that it is becoming critically important again.

Republicans who do that should be considered health hazards in themselves.

3. Yep. The virus is out of the bag now, governor!

He'll continue to blame the citizens rather than himself, of course.
