“Trump and his administration have failed mightily... but party affiliation is not the reason cases are on the rise in various states. Finger wagging is counterproductive and even beside the point. The real question is how to get Covid-19 under control and the country going again.

In the face of this terrible, unseeable virus, hubris has no place, not from republican governors or progressive pundits. There’s only one right attitude: humility.”

This.

this is pretty shameful from Texas leadership though. if it’s too dangerous for leadership to attend, don’t ask the general public to attend. simple

Exactly why I posted it. It’s a short drive (by Texas standards) from Austin to Houston yet leaders decided that attending virtually is the way to go.

There are two reasons I mostly post about Texas and not california:
1- positivity rate is almost double of that of California
2- I lived there until 7 months ago and I know a lot of people there

I disagree that the only reason California is not mentioned is that Newsom is democrat. california had a remarkable success early on despite having a huge ethnically Chinese population and a lot of flights from China. San Francisco county somehow has had only 4000 cases and 50 deaths.
If you want to look at a D-run state look at New York with its death toll.

Oh, that wasn’t pointed at you, or anyone specifically in this thread. Just agreed with the general point that over the past month, California, Texas, Florida have basically mirrored one another in the reopening process and now the shuttering of that reopening in some aspects. And same deal with skyrocketing cases over the past couple weeks and death tolls jumping this week.

I think the piece did a good job of explaining this wasn’t a democrat vs republican state issue. And that the arrogance of Republican state governors early on saying they were doing it right while the democratic NE was being slammed wasn’t helpful at all, and nor are the progressive pundits going after the republican sun belt governors while the south is being slammed being helpful either.

Too bad the imbecile in the White House would rather play petty politics and stoke the fire of partisan divide instead of trying to unite everyone to fight this thing.

I don’t think they have mirrored each other. Texas officials fought with a Houston judge publicly over SIP orders. In California Newsom supported SF mayor from the get go. And again the results are different than one another despite what the article claims. California positivity rate is below national average while Texas, Florida and Arizona are far higher.

:tup:

Did not know the upper bit about the Texas officials fighting publicly with a judge.

You are right, they aren’t identical, and Newsom has been more supportive of communities affected and not downplayed it to anywhere near the same degree.

I have just noted similarities myself in timing of reopening, and the style of reopening (bars, gyms, etc.) and the recent upsurge in cases and deaths. But with the positivity rate so much lower in California (hadn’t read this yet), they are in a better place it seems.

Total b.s. Like anyone in Florida goes to school.

Everyone knows any decent Floridian spend's their child's education on buying a family ATV so they can rollover on a Trump golf course or in a swamp.

With climate change, it's actually rising.
