finreporter I saw that on the news.Austin mayor Steve Adler said they would run out of hospital beds in 2 weeks and wants a 35 day lockdown for Austin.Abbott insists if they would enforce the mask order in place for the whole state they wouldn't need to shut down.He does sound like the Covidiot in chief in DC. People can claim they have some condition they can't wear masks.Who is deciding whether they are being truthful.The police won't enforce it because they can't jail anyone for noncompliance. Now they are saying 28 plus APD members have tested positive since the protests outside their department.Maybe...maybe not.I don't really care if that's how they got it.They need to get this more under control.

"Costco workers need to know "I feel threatened" is gunspeak for "I'm armed and will use this" in a concealed carry state." Wow.

Love it. The Yelp reviews show her for the bigot that she is. I couldn't get your link to work so I just googled: yelp The Brand Consortium.

The Republican Party of Texas was going to hold an in-person convention in Houston next week but the operator of the convention center cancelled it with help from City of Houston's legal department. The Republican Party said they was fight it so they can hold the convention. Here is the story form the Texas Tribune. www.texastribune.org/2020/07/08/houston-cancel-republican-convention/

Our city started in-person summer school on Monday for the high schools. At one of the high schools a person who has since tested positive was at the school on Monday so school has been suspended from yesterday through Friday. Six people who had contact with the infected person have been asked to quarantine for two weeks. The person with COVID did not have symptoms during the day Monday but developed them Monday night. They were tested on Tuesday and had the results Tuesday night and contacted the school. Wonder how they got their test results so fast.

not sure in person summer school is such a good idea, but i get where they are coming from. from what i read, many high school students were not logging in at all for distance learning during the stay at home orders. some because of lack of reliable internet, low parental involvement due to the parent having to work during the shutdown, and general apathy on the part of the student. i'm sure by doing the summer school it will help the kids prepare for the following grade level, or to graduate if they were already seniors.

I saw that and thought "Who thought that was a good idea".
There is an idiotic woman (well, at least to me she is idiotic) on a travel board I post on. She just posted that she is chaperoning a co-ed teenage trip somewhere over the next few days. Her daughter is 17. To me sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. You know none of those kids will be wearing masks or social distancing. What is wrong with people? Oh, and it's not like she lives in some out of the way place. She lives in Chicago.
