Well done ReTHUGs

[SouthernCal_Dem]

1. Texas is quickly running out of ICU capacity as we speak

11. Thin the ranks of healthy Republicans by election day

Fine with me. It's their call. Just make sure that the Texas Republican Party gets sent the bill for treatment of any workers involuntarily there who get infected.

14. _1,000

Let them proceed

[TexasTowelie]

2. The number was a bit lower yesterday compared to the previous few days.

That makes we wonder if there was some type of backlog.

4. DUers who know way more than I do have been showing that

we often get weekend numbers on Tuesdays

7. Have a friend at a PTA meet right now, trying to decide the logistics of opening the middle school

Lots of reasonable cautious suggestions, but Every Parent & Teacher facing this decision is saying no one wants to send their kid into this high risk situation.

They have no guidlines to follow that protect their children. Its trial & error no matter how sanitized & spaced the school is.

It is a devastating decision.

17. In Texas the schools will apparently get no money

From the state if they only open virtually (according to a teacher I know here), so they're being forced to open. With no guidelines from the state or the Tx Education Assoc (a state body).

20. Sick fks. Its like playing R roulette with your kids & hoping their school isn't 1st to get sick.

This is so stupid.
The casual approach that's being taken is one thoughtless thing, but kids have no say if they want to risk their lives & those of their families .

They are innocents.

5. Where did you see this number? Worldometer doesn't have more than 8,000

Just curious as to the data source

[malaise]

8. Heard it on CNN a few minutes ago n/t

[SoonerPride]

18. I Have Not Seen the 10,000 Number on any of The COVID Trackers I Check

I have seen it in news articles but they could be using the same source out of TX.

6. The hens have come home to roost for Abbott and DeSantis.

What a couple of trump dumb fucks.

9. DeSastrous is his new name

[DFW]

12. Very appropriate

I hope it catches on like "Moscow Mitch" did.

[PJMcK]

10. Die, motherfuckers! Die!

That seems to be the GOP's attitude about this crisis.

It's so Christian, right?

15. Don't Mask With Texas

[malaise]

16. Unmask the ReTHUGs endangering lives

How ironic since at least one book can be called the Unmasking of Don the Con.
