Unhealed trauma kills people. It's sad that the doc killed herself. Thank you for the kind words.

"Donald Trump tells TMZ he is contacting the FBI to investigate threats just made by a man claiming to be the son of escaped Mexican drug lord El Chapo.

Trump is reacting to a tweet reportedly made by El Chapo's son, in which he blasts Trump for saying El Chapo is "everything that's wrong with Mexico."

The tweet was written in Spanish, with the rough English translation, "Keep f***ing around and I'm gonna make you swallow your bitch words you f***ing whitey milks***tter (that's a homophobic slur)."

Trump tells TMZ he's not backing down, saying, "I'm fighting for much more than myself. I'm fighting for the future of our country which is being overrun by criminals." He adds, "You can't be intimidated. It's too important."

Yep, nailed it. That's exactly where I got it from.

We would be just fine without these quacks - it's the disinfectant manufacturers on the front lines getting us all the bleach that we need to protect ourselves that we should be thanking.

That and we must continue to pay tribute to our glorious, benevolent sun God who provides us with tremendous sunlight. Thank you, almighty Ra.

It pretty much is what it is.
All the way into this the governor has acquiesce to the mayors. Texas is afraid to get too strong from the governorship. We've got a history of limiting their power in response.

I expect the reopening plan to occur and to see urban centers run their own continued mitigation.

In a state that is so large and spans so many distinct geographic and regional centers from very rural to very urban, it makes sense to do a heterogeneous reopening.
If it looks like we're on track to reopen faster than everyone else or wisdom says we should, I will watch the details and expect to see something that essentially passes the buck to the urban center mayors and basically only reopens small rural areas that already have minimal traffic and inherent social distancing. Some of this will be for show.

If you're on the other hand I'm wrong and the mayor's follow along with the governor, which I don't expect, then it's true. We are woefully behind in testing and it's testing that lets you taper off your restrictions with data effectively. So we might be screwing it up big time

Governor blessing off but without the testing apparatus. I've got no problem with the idea and in general Abbot has done a pretty good job on the way in and out. But there's a lot of buck passing.
Abbot locks it down but doesn't provide state resources for testing on the open up. Just sets metrics and gets out of the way. That leaves Mayors having to be the bad guys if shit goes wrong in Houston etc. Acting like this is just a Houston problem or Austin problem if shit goes wrong misses the nature of infectious disease.

There's also some politics in the medicine laws. Hospitals can reopen to do elective procedures with certain conditions, but one of them is that you can't ask the state for PPE if you do so. Again, that's passing the buck. The state should be supporting the reopening, not making hospitals (who are strapped for cash with no elective procedures) look to take that risk and if they get it wrong they can't ask for help. All the hospitals that aren't overworked with COVID patients are going to do that and then if they get it wrong the state will blame the hospital for not having enough PPE on hand for a public health crisis and their daily operations.

This is the nature of the Texas governorship so it's not a surprise. It's playing inside the politics of what we usually have done but its probably not as efficient or effective as we could be with a more coordinated effort.

Yea, I am still very surprised at how little testing is occurring. That's my big concern. We shall see how it goes though. My big issue is he says his order supersedes local orders, but then passed the buck as you say.

FL getting in on the Fake Science?

Second round of COVID-19 community testing completed; Miami-Dade County and the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine announce initial findings

"These results are similar but not identical to other recent, non-randomized testing programs that have been conducted throughout the United States."

Non-randomized. And they don't say where they got their antibody test kits. I'll stick to my assertion that anyone who calls a press-conference before they publish their study is very likely full of crap.
