Watching Fox News may kill you https://politicalwire.com/2020/04/22/study-suggests-sean-hannity-helped-spread-coronavirus/
At the time, Hannitys show was downplaying or ignoring the virus, while fellow Fox host Tucker Carlson was warning viewers about the diseases risks.
Using both a poll of Fox News viewers over age 55 and publicly available data on television-watching patterns, they calculate that Fox viewers who watched Hannity rather than Carlson were less likely to adhere to social distancing rules, and that areas where more people watched Hannity relative to Carlson had higher local rates of infection and death.

In Texas, the County Judge is the chief administrative official for county government. I met Lina at a Harris County Democratic Lawyers Association meeting. She is very young and was helped by straight ticket voting in 2016 and Hillary carrying Harris County. I was surprised and happy when she won. While the prior county judge did a good job during Harvey, there were concerns. Lina has pleased me with how she has handled some issues such as county wide voting and a couple of plant fires/explosions.
During the COVID crisis, Lina has been working with Mayor Turner and has been doing a good job even though Texas is being screwed on getting testing. Today, Lina Hidalgo is trending on my twitter feed due to issuing an order for mandatory masks while in public

The nut jobs/trump supporters are going crazy and want to revolt. If you want to have fun, search Lina Hidalgo on twitter and you will see some pure hatred that makes me smile.
I am high risk and I have been wearing a mask when I go out (even to the drive through window for my pharmacy where I am separated by a glass window). My daughter wears a mask when she shops and masks are a good idea. The reaction to this order is really amusing to me.

https://twitter.com/CristobalJAlex/status/1252204629263343616The political arm of the League of Conservation Voters, a Washington-based green group that has spent tens of millions of dollars in recent election cycles to help elect Democrats to office, announced Monday that it is backing the presumptive Democratic nominee in what looks to be a tough fight against President Trump.
Drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions is going to take leadership, said Carol Browner, the chair of LCVs board of directors. And I have every confidence that the vice president will provide that.
The endorsement from the LCV could encourage other green groups who supported Bidens rivals in a crowded primary to fall in line. The group hopes to prevent Trump, who has repeatedly denied the scientific consensus that human activity is warming the planet, from winning a second term.
Scientists tell us we have 10 years to get climate change under control, said Browner, who ran the Environmental Protection Agency for eight years under former president Bill Clinton. Were going to have to not just put back in place all the stuff that Trump undid from the Obama years, were going to have to do more.
Biden said in a statement that he was honored to have the LCVs endorsement. For me, this is personal, said Biden, a former senator from Delaware. I live in a state thats dealing first hand with the impacts of climate change and impacts of pollution on kids and families. Im going to fight for my grandkids.
