The models that attempt to capture the effects of easing restrictions show Texas ramping up a lot.
Columbia model has a huge increase after 7-1
FWIW.
Guess we will get to see stupid Republican policies at the state level too. It's almost like Republicans... suck at policies based on evidence for some reason.
Well, this November we get to get the cure for the Moronavirus.
"AUSTIN, Texas -- Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday that Texas has surpassed 5,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day for the first time, another troubling milestone as the largest pediatric hospital in the U.S. begins taking adult patients to free up bed space in Houston.
The announcement comes days after Texas eclipsed 4,000 new cases for the first time just last weekend."

There is plenty of blame to go around, the government failed as a whole.
Surge is still being driven by young people not social distancing.

As Texas schools open in several weeks a draft report shows that there is no state-level mandatory actions for the schools
For the most part. Pushing to re-open aggressively... that is not "both parties" and all levels of government.

5,489 New COVID-19 Cases: Texas Reports All-Time Daily High
https://www.npr.org/sections/coronav...ime-daily-high"Probably the greater factor that's pushing our numbers up is that the positivity rate is now gone from around 3% to around 9% — that's a threefold increase," said Dr. David Persse, public health authority for the Houston Health Department, according to Houston Public Media.
"But muh virus twoof!"
For Republicans this is like climate change science. Time goes by and the evidence mounts... and still you have dip s with their fingers in their ears.
Dr. Peter Hotez tweeted this the other day. He along with Osterholm is one of the voices I trust. He's also a Texas resident, so he's quite invested in the situation.
2 weeks!!!!!
Or wearing masks.
Fits my anecdotal observations.
Every age group does not seem to care, especially bad in small South Texas cities based on my fishing adventures requiring stops into convenience stores.
San Antonio is so different in my experience.
This surge isn't driven by Republicans, its driven by dumb ass 20-50s ignoring reasonable cautions.
But only those going to the bar or the beach. Not the protests.
Coronavirus Updates: 311 new cases as surge continues

How bad will it get before Abbott orders or allows lockdown?
Many restaurants in SA opened then closed due infected staff.
30 HEB people are infected

"We want to make sure everyone reinforces the best safe practices of wearing a mask, hand sanitation, maintaining safe distance, but importantly, because the spread is so rapid right now, there’s never a reason for you to have to leave your home unless you need to go out,” Abbott said. “The safest place for you is at your home.”

"For the first time in almost three months, Jill and Asher Lewis were able to take their two children on an outing away from home, spending Father’s Day at the newly reopened Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
“We normally come to the water park every Sunday after church,” Jill Lewis said, relaxing on a bench while her husband took Hudson, 13, and Paisley, 9, on the nearby Joker Carnival of Chaos ride. “It’s nice for them to be outside doing something normal.”

Texas doctor buries Trump-loving governor for ‘greatest public health failure in the history of the nation’
Dr. Peter Hotez, the dean of the School of Tropical Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine,
the current situation in Texas represents
the “greatest public health failure in the history of the nation,” and
he warned that it will spiral out of control very quickly.
“We’re seeing a very steep acceleration in the number of cases here
in Houston,
in our metro areas,
as you pointed out, and also in San Antonio and Austin,” he said.
“And it’s not just an increase in the number of cases, it’s the slope, the way it’s accelerating.
It’s almost vertical.
This is what we call an exponential rise,
meaning it’s been flat for a while and now it’s going up almost vertically.”

Austin and San Antonio aren't "metro areas"?

"Houston’s Texas medical center, often referred to as the largest medical center in the world, showed its ICU beds were at 97% of normal capacity. The hospital has maximum capacity for nearly 1,000 more ICU beds if it activates its plans for public health emergencies.
The surge in cases in Texas and increase in hospitalizations has been accompanied by a higher rate of positive tests. These are indicators cases are not increasing just because more people are being tested.
The head of the Houston Methodist hospital system, Dr Marc Boom, wrote in an email to employees on Friday: “We appear to be nearing the tipping point.”
In the email, seen by the Texas Tribune, Boom continued: “Should the number of new cases grow too rapidly, it will eventually challenge our ability to treat both Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 patients.”
