    Texas roll back on opening…the area I live shutdown the beaches at Padre Island on the Gulf of Mexico today. Testing has seen accelerated rates now that the up and coming new Medical School as part of the newest Texas university, UTRGV has new equipment to do in house tests.
    They went from 400 a day to 1500 therefore the “rate of infection” contributed to the Texas hysteria. They are quite happy being able to help the cause…Both Cameron and Hildago counties are democratically controlled…

      Same up here, Billy Bob. I gave in an put in a pick-up at the grocery store order for the weekend as I am NOT wearing a bloody mask. Trying to develop a strategy that wakes people up – just not one that lands me in jail.

        According to Abbott’s (just realized what an odd name) latest dictum no one can be arrested or fined for not wearing a mask. I bought groceries at my local HEB without one. No one said anything except the check out lady doing her Mom role. Asked Me if I had a mask I said no, I can’t wear one. No response from her.
        I had my dog Pluto with me who has a service dog halter I purchased years ago on Amazon. She rang up my stuff and pushed the receipt through the plexiglass hole and said thank you.

        In here Finland the government don’t recommend people to wear masks. They even made extensive laboratory tests to find out if masks help or not. The result was that masks are pretty much useless. There was some benefits protecting other people, if the mask user has the Covid, but for mask users themselves, it is useless.

          Finland and Russia are sounding nicer and nicer! (Always Finland, but having lived in the Adirondack Mountains for over 30 years where it gets to -40F, I guess I will stay where today it will be close to 100F.)

            That sounds like a great place to live! Finland is too leftist nowadays, led by the Social Democratic Party of Finland and the Russia has it’s own problems, although it’s not so socialist country as Finland. (I think commies and socialists moved to west after Soviet Union collapsed lol)
