(51,584 posts)so that they are almost forced to report the real numbers as proof that the number of cases being reported by "guesstimates" is not accurate and it too high. Two can play that game....the "Who can lie better" game developed by Dear Leader.

These bastards from Abbott on down need to be made to understand that they serve the citizens of Texas, not the other way around.

(22,250 posts)The first increases were related to the virus getting loose in the correctional institutions located here. We should be seeing the cases related to the opening very soon.
Abbot is such a tool. He was too chicken to set up a statewide shutdown so he left it up to the counties. Safe sheltering, limiting restaurants to take out only, no gatherings over 10 persons, 6 feet distancing, etc
However when he was pressured to open the state, the proclamation rescinded the right of counties to make their own rules.
