They also have the University Hospital just down the street.
Hope you never need it.

If you violate the quarantine you're subject to a fine and/or jail time. Abbott started slow, but I believe he's getting on top of this now. Originally Posted by Tiny

Show me a good study where open bars caused an increase in Wuhan virus - tempting to attribute the recent uptick in cases in Texas - but i see no Proof of that - Nor good evidence that closing bars alone - while maintaining open other 'essential services' - will cause a drop in the virus incidence.
People are out walking their dogs, ignoring 6 foot separation, masks are at best a minority of the population in Texas.
The Virus is already many steps ahead - out of the box - beyond control with contact tracing.
The best we can do - perhaps - is slow it down a bit to not overwhelm hospitals and ICU beds.
Meanwhile - bar owners are getting slammed economically - and preferentially. . Originally Posted by oeb11

I remember when myself and a couple others were remarking how well Texas had done, in thwarting the virus.. Florida, too. all that really meant is the virus was waiting to make fools out of Abbott and Desantis.
