Texas response to Corona virus

I think people confuse being in a democracy and having internet access with being an expert on their topic of choice. As unpopular as this sounds, not everyone should be able to speak or have opinions on everything. Experts are good for a reason.

You're a lawyer. You realize that you're not going to call El Gato Loco to be an expert witness because of a ing tweet thread. But yeah, here we are.

I mean honestly, can someone explain to me what the ing positive endgame was for Abbott by preventing cities from enacting mask ordinances from the get go?

It's why its absurd when idiots like Chris post tweets of some re ed legal talking point that invariably turns out to be incorrect. I'm sure you've seen the same with the climate change conversation. Not everyone's opinion is valid or needs to be heard.

And something about not being a cuck

Not getting primaried by someone from the facial freedom caucus of the Texas Republican party.

Just watch that Florida video for a perfect illustration of what you refer to.

Looking at some of these southern states, it's obvious that "something" changed in early June.

Georgia opened at the end of April, but just starting to see increases now?

Why is it one or the other? Several posters told you that protests likely were a net-contributor in cases. What do you make of that admission?

I don't think people were as confident to go out back in April, especially when it looked like we were just in the middle of of the worst part of this thing.

Personally, I think most people get this from family members and close friends.

You mentioned something about car dealerships earlier. Where did you hear that?

Ah yes, the tweet that made me lose what little faith in humanity I had left.

Correct, he is.

Back in 2005, this expert predicted 200 million people could die of bird flu. Worldwide deaths < 300.

We'll put aside the boatload of questions/assumptions built into that post and assume arguendo you're right. Does that fact - that Niall got it wrong - make you an epidemiological expert?

What exactly is the legal argument that face mask requirements are illegal? I don’t see how requiring a face mask is uncons utional when there’s already laws requiring a certain amount of clothing when you’re in public.
