    I'm fairly low-risk, not by age, but all I do anyway is work (in a 2-person office with separate offices), buy food, and used to go early on Friday to happy hour for some semblance of a social life. Most of us are probably going to get the virus sooner or later before a vaccine is released. I understand not overwhelming the hospitals as the main, and only, objective.

    Gosh.. if that's all you got out of that... The smug with which you found refuge there, Astonishing. Is that your reaction to anyone who you don't understand? That seems more likely the case that perhaps it is your problem. And as you said, "cause _________" I cannot guess but clearly not for love of the USA on your part.

    He's been in a wheelchair since he was 26 when he broke his back. You're making fun of him. Must be a reflection of white fragility and privilege.

    That's not very nice. You should feel guilty.

    Must be. I guess soon tRUMP will make fun of him then.

    Soon tRUMP will think of him as the enemy. If the mask thing is for real.

    In March, tRUMP was all gaga for Abbott.

    "Gov. Abbott, when you look at the job he's done in Texas, I rely on his judgment," Trump said.

    Wonder if he will still rely on his judgement.

    Where do you get this idea anyone is “running away”?
    I never stated I lived in NY. Ever.
    I also didn’t wish you any harm.
    It’s funny how whenever you have no argument you just make things up. Disgusting behavior.

    You've got several pages of disgusting behavior on this thread. Go ahead, report this too.

    Govts also require people to wear seat belts to help save lives but we all know it’s not 100% effective, right? No one in govt has stated a mask is 100% effective, which I’ve already answered several times. There you go making things up again.
    If you get COVID, by all means sue the govt. Good luck with that.
    Oh and you calling someone out regarding ego is priceless.

    I see you’re jumping on the disingenuous train too, eh? And I don’t report.

    But you’ve been saying masks aren’t effective in preventing getting COVID? Why have you been arguing about masks when you clearly wear one for protection?

    People who can't wear masks can wear faceshields.

    There is no fact based argument for not wearing a facial covering because of a health risk as there are several options. Exceptions to this would be extremely rare, like say, you also happen to have 3rd degree burns over your entire head so you can't have straps touching your skin, or something equally extraordinary.

    The only thing preventing people from wearing a mask is their own desire not to do it.

    Prolly true. I was speaking to the letter of the law, not the spirit of it. They left it wide open for anyone to avoid.

    Huh. A couple things. You can't technically go somewhere you already were. I mean, you wouldn't say while you were in Moscow, speaking of toilets, that you are going in the Moscow. So your thread title should just read Texas is toilet. It's the most effective and accurate use of the English language.

    Also, did Comrade Putin recall you to dictate this post to you?

    Lastly, while protests certainly could have spread Covid, so did opening up Texas too early like the moron Abbott is. And lastly, if he did what you ask in your opening line, well, we don't need to know about your Friday nights.

    Not dying or being physically ruined by it is a pretty good goal.

    I've seen the damage this thing can do.

    I have a friend who will probably never be "the same". She's better...but the physical damage is such that even a long conversation is tiring to her. She caught this thing in March

    A Broadway actor (40 years old) just died after fighting it for over 10 weeks. First they took his leg...multiple blood clots...seizures, strokes.

    You do NOT want to mess with this thing

    I see that Texas is running out of hospital space. As a New Yorker I would note that some people learn by reading others learn through observation, apparently Texans only learn by peeing on the electric fence themselves.

    It would explain why they love putting up all those electric fences...

    Oh no, I see the point you are trying to make, it's just lame.

    What I don't understand is how our Society has turned into a bunch of complaining Karen's so quickly. The days of ask not what your Country can do for you, but what you can do for your Country went out the window the moment we were asked to wear a mask.

    Sad.

    Well you just made fun of a disabled man, calling him thug. Someone should revoke your "woke" card for demeaning a person who is part of an oppressed group.

    I haven't messed with it. I didn't attend any protests or do anything with anyone 20-35. Mature adults are better at following good advice.
