Texas used to have restrictions on people traveling here from some of the worst states. Now the table has turned and the states gaining control are putting restrictions on people traveling from Texas.

Is the Lid airtight? Why don't you look under there and see while flushing.
uh no. Just thought about something, if you're flushing your own product, then just who are you endangering? Now.... if someone leaves a surprise in the bowl and you have to flush it before you do your business, then that's another story. Flush and run may be the only option. BE CAREFUL when you run, the floors may be wet, don't slip.

Well, despite all of the shrieking going on, we do all realize that Texas is one of the few states that lumps positive antibody test results in with live virus test results to come up with total "cases", right? So, if you were exposed to the virus 2-6 months ago, never showed symptoms and your body checked the virus in place you will still test positive for antibodies if you take the antibody test, while you would test negative if you took the live virus test which indicates current infection. Nonetheless, you would be considered a new case. I don't understand what value past exposure numbers have in measuring the current spread of the disease or its actual impact on those who are infected, but your state, with the blessings of the CDC, chooses to lump them all together which makes the numbers larger than they actually are. https://www.livescience.com/cdc-combined-covid-19-diagnostic-and-antibody-tests.html

It's the ICU numbers that are the most important; and right now, they are not good.

Those in a rush to open things up are going to pay a longer and more painful price. says the person with a secure job and no financial ties to a small business. 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 Actually, I will likely be furloughed this fiscal year and will lose several thousand dollars of salary. The point was being macho and not wearing a mask (whininess posing as rugged individualism) and the rush to open things up will protract the whole situation and lengthen the economic hardship. Pennywise and pound foolish. Just put your little masky on and get in the bread line with the others. Several thousand dollars of salary? How on earth will you survive?

Cuomo just keeps on trying to stir the pot. After all his missteps and all that NY went through he wants to take shots at other states. States that sent him healthcare workers and supplies to help out when they were in dire straits. Gonna be interesting to see his tone change if NY seens another spike. One thing will be clear, it will never be his fault though. He makes that clear in his daily 2 hour "I love me some " COVID press conferences. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/25/new...litics-with-this-virus-and-you-lost.html

Yup....it's a tit-for-tat thing. Payback for when we did it. Don't plan on visiting the East Coast anytime in the next 10 years anyway. Zero impact on me.

after all, they won't arrest them for looting and burning.

after all, they won't arrest them for looting and burning. They caused the rise in cases. Democrats supported the protesters thus Democrats caused the rise in cases and killed people

I have made my stance known. I have been on the side to leave the economy open since Day 1 and stand by that.

Here’s another point I want to make. I hear folks say things like they haven’t eaten out in a long time. Or, they haven’t gone to a movie in a while, etc. we can live with all those things. But, for just a moment, please realize that someone is not making money when we don’t go. That doesn’t necessarily affect me, or you, right now. But, it’s all intertwined. Less spending cripples the economy. We will all feel it at some point, to some degree or another.
Try not to let the restaurants, and movie theater, and snow cone stands, and bars go under. It’s better to have more folks spending money. They buy gas, and groceries, and cell phones, and lawn mowers and insurance, etc. it’s all tied together.

Protest lockdowns and masks during COVID = why do you want to kill old people?
Protest about racist police during COVID = here are six city blocks all to yourself...do whatever you want....throw a block party
