Over at Free Republic, the wingnuts and conspiracy theorists are none too happy with an article from the Dallas Morning News about the rising number of coronavirus infections in Texas and the governor's response.
Here's a Dallas Morning News story about the rising number of coronavirus infections in Texas and the governor's response.
Gov. Greg Abbott sternly warned Texans of rampant spread of coronavirus that took the state to a new high Tuesday of more than 5,000 new cases in a single day.
Saying Texans should stay home unless they have a good reason to venture out, Abbott late Tuesday afternoon gave local officials more powers to limit public gatherings during the upcoming Fourth of July weekend.
He expanded the ability of mayors and county judges to restrict outdoor gatherings of over 100 people -- down from the previous limit of more than 500 people in outdoor gatherings. Previously, this applied only to outdoor gatherings over 500 people. Abbott also told the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to enact emergency rules that provide strict health and safety standards and procedures related to COVID-19 for child care centers in Texas. The decrees were based on data showing an increase in COVID-19 transmission stemming from large gatherings and child care centers, the governors office said....

Best wishes.

(60,010 posts)Until I recently saw a mash up of Fox news clips/Hannity, Carlson, Limbaugh etc. all yelling
( why do they yell so damn much?) about not wearing them.
Now I can't understand why Fox et al would spend so much time and money trying to kill off their viewers.

(11,443 posts)Seniors over 65 - That leaves hundreds of billions a year in unspent Social Security and Medicare money they can steal. Repukes have been lusting after that money for years.
Black People - They're a huge Democratic voting block.
They obviously believe this strategy outweighs the lost advantage in seniors leaning more for repukes in recent elections. I guess with the help of voter suppression and Putin, they feel that they can overcome that.
