Bexar County reports 'biggest single day increase' of 436 new cases of COVID-19

TimDunkem didn't even have it.

Remember when you said there were plenty of hospital beds

What worries me more now about Covid is that it isn't a singular respiratory disease, "a cold on steroids" like we once thought. This attacks your entire body and as I said, we're discovering all sorts of lingering side effects due to clotting that even people who have had mild cases start to develop.

That looks straight up gross. I can't believe someone would voluntarily ingest that. And, for those that do, how would you expect them to be anywhere remotely approximating healthy? So yes, there are a lot of failures across the board in how the local, state, and the federal government have addressed the pandemic. But considerable blame needs to be placed on those who eat like this and then complain about not having sufficient ICU space to save them from poor health decisions over the course of decades.

I remember when Dr Tholdren Ph.D told us all we had to do was wash our hands.

There are

Lol Darrin's anecdotal bubble

We will reach some threshold, at which point, numbers will start falling. It's a pattern that is happening all over the world.

There's some large percentage, depends on demographics, that do not appear to "participate" in the epidemic. That's why herd immunity may be as low as 20% infected.

You wouldn't ever eat enchiladas and beans? I don't think many eat that kind of stuff every day.

You listened and don't have it. Nice work

I would have a Modelo Negro with that and be in heaven.
Its most likely awesome. I would exchange for Enchiladas Verdes though.

Herd immunity without a vaccine is looking more like a pipe dream. Those YouTubes you watch are probably not up to date.

Maybe just me but I can't stand that oily stringy cheddar that a lot these restaurants use on enchiladas.

I know you are a pessimist. I'm not.

Places like NY, that were clobbered are showing signs of herd immunity.

Lol it's not about pessimism or optimism. It's realism.

Their data says otherwise

There's good cheddar and there's the WIC cheddar

Oh right the doctor is making up, not you.

Never could get into that heavy tomatillo salsa. I love tomatillos but anytime I get enchiladas verdes the salsa just tastes like pure tomatillo.

I don't know what kind of cheese it is in good cheese enchiladas but it ain't cheddar. That sucks on enchiladas.

As others have said, Tex Mex is tasty but some dishes aren't photogenic. But your point is correct. Many Americans have made poor health choices over the past 40 years. Also coincides with the Reagan tax cuts when obesity started to rise. Likely due to more people having to work longer and harder to make ends meet, meaning no time for exercise and cooking at home.

I can't blame the obesity epidemic on Reagan. It really seemed to start in the 90s when everyone was freaked out about fat so everything on store shelves became low fat. But low fat food was juked full of sugar instead, and with how addictive sugar is it sold better and companies just left the added sugar in once the low fat trend died off. Sugar is the enemy and we have so much of it hidden in our food. Back in the Reagan days I didn't see fat s like you see everywhere from especially the early 2000s and on after the low fat craze had gotten us all consuming a lot more sugar for a few years.
