    The ER is being used more because family doctors are closing their lobbies. It took me 6 days to get my gallbladder removed because doctors refused to see me until I had a covid19 test and the wait then was 2 days for results. I was almost an ICU patient because of covid19 response.

    If Texas is doing it so wrong, why are numbers still better than California's? We may yet see a spike because of people being displaced by this hurricane. We dodged a bullet that it didn't directly hit Corpus Christi.

    I’ve been conservative my whole life, and today, it seems I’m the only one, main reason;

    In an effort to prevent/minimize the spread of Covid19, and reduce its death toll, I’ve been promoting the following “conservative” belief;

    Personal/Individual Responsibility......WE are responsible for our actions, and in reference to Covid19, WE must act/behave responsibly.

    In other words, don’t be an idiot like this guy;

    Headline; Man who went to party warned people not to be an idiot like me, a day before dying of Covid19.....Family members are begging others not to make same mistakes.

    Also, “WE, The People” are at WAR against an invisible enemy, and WE are the warriors, both collectively, and once again, INDIVIDUALLY.

    In addition, the measures that were implemented to prevent/minimize the spread of Covid19 are actually wartime measures, and historically, wars have often been hard on civil liberties.

    I doubt they'll be able to move people from the hurricane-struck Valley, who are in ICU on ventilators from any hospitals with power/generator outages. Seems more risky to move people who are that critical than to pray for the power to come back on soon. Other people can be moved fairly safely.

    Other than that, we Texans know that the outlook is better here than the way the media is portraying it.

    Hope everyone in your family is doing well! :hug:

    The numbers may be better, but they are still bad. Anytime you end up storing dead bodies in refrigerated trucks like NYC ended up doing, it's not a good sign.

    I have seen reports of Texas ordering refrigerated trucks to prepare for a worst case scenario. There have been no stories I've seen that Texas has yet had to use those additional resources.

    What I recall from Mar-Apr time frame is that other states ended up with piles of dead bodies being discovered in nursing homes and funeral parlors because it didn't occur to anyone to plan ahead and order refrigerated trucks.

    Texas is pretty good at planning ahead, especially given recent examples of bad planning and total planning failures.

    NO, that would be the right who want to have the government make health care decisions for pregnant women.

    Texas is apparently planning on sending covid-19 patients home to die since they are being overwhelmed by covid-19 patients. According to the county, it is looking rather grim right now.

    Health care? Pregnancy isn't an illness.

    Starr County can't ask the state for help? I bet we wouldn't have the outbreak there to begin with if we had already built the wall there.

    Neither is a broken arm but it falls under health care


    Pregnancy comes under health care.....that's why pregnant women go to doctors …:roll:

    Your post #133 is almost identical to the original post #1. It's essentially the thread title and subject. You just "restarted" the thread when there wasn't any point in doing so. Did you just jump into the last page without reading any of the previous discussion? :roll: :deadhorse:

    I hardly think that a broken arm and a healthy unborn baby are analogous.

    It was done to refresh people's memories because IMO the responses had drifted and from my viewpoint it never hurts to refresh peoples minds in certain circumstances. In the future you certainly don't have to respond if you don't feel its worth responding to.

    If you quote my post, I am likely to respond, but not with repetitive answers to repetitive comments which have already been covered for several pages. But likewise, feel free not to respond.

    Pregnancy comes under health care.....that's why pregnant women go to doctors …:roll:



    I never said they were as is clearly shown in my post.

    But one gets health care for both broken arms and PREGNANCIES...PREGNANCY is a HEALTH CARE ISSUE.....that is why pregnant women go to the doctor just like people with broken arms..
