More cases here than any other state yesterday, 6,177. Hospitals in several metro areas are filling up.

My company is now refusing to let anyone fly in out of Texas without a mandatory quarantine.

Tri-state area around NY put a mandatory quarantine order in place for travelers from Texas and 7 other red states. (Not that anybody here wants to go there anyway). I find it slightly amusing they conveniently ignored blue California who until yesterday had been leading the country in most daily cases.

Hopefully the new mask mandates around the state will start to pull the numbers down soon. Otherwise we can expect to see the list of places we can't travel without a mandatory quarantine continue to grow.

So I guess the warmer weather of summer didn't kill it off. Those in a rush to open things up are going to pay a longer and more painful price.

If you're scared, stay home.

Some evidence the warm weather was helping, but now it's gotten so warm it's forcing people back inside, which is helping drive cases.

We all knew warmer weather wasn't going to help contain the spread.
Cases in Australia were rapidly accelerating in the middle of their hottest time of year (March/April)

Positive cases have exploded at my hospital.

It's uncomfortable to admit we're dealing with a pandemic. It's so much simpler and more comfortable to say it's all a hoax, it's a conspiracy.

Fine. You caught us. Hop is so damn ugly that the entire world conspired to make him cover his face.

The hospitals have had their time to ramp up, another shut down will just finish off the economy and fulfill your dream of a liberal utopia

This ^^^. Quit cowering with fear and acting like the chinese with your little masky.

Not having money to deal with issues never helps anyone, state and cities need tax revenue, people need their insurance, shutting down was stupid. It has to work itself out. We have to March forward as a society, get people back to work. It is what it is.

I don't mind the mask, if I am asked to wear one I will gladly with no angst.

I also don't mind the people that want to wear them , I get it.....its protection from a chinese virus who wouldn't want that.


Not shots fired Bobster , not at all.....most of can only dream to achieve your level of badassery

Bell county just put a mandatory mask in public in place, to be enforced by police and a fine of up to $1000.
Very likely it becomes mandatory across most of the state.
What will the OT tough guys do?

Yep, I am of the opinion he needs to go.
