THAT'S when Texas Governor Abbott panicked and declared masks to be mandatory across the state of Texas.
In many other Republican-led states, masks still aren't mandatory, and/or they are opening up. Any "surge" in Texas is being caused by A) antibody testing, which tracks PAST-TENSE infections of ALL coronaviruses, not just COVID-19 and B) Mexicans coming across the border when they get sick, because their health care is 3rd world pathetic and USA kicks @$$ in health care as in many other things.
Why can't Abbott attack the real problem? Why screw around with silly masks which EVERYONE (especially health care professionals) KNOWS DOESN'T WORK? It's a psy-op. And Abbott is part of it.
Guess what? That's two strikes for that clown. (I can't remember the exact specifics of the first one, but I think it was also COVID related). I'm voting for the other guy whenever Abbott comes up for re-election. And yes, even if that means voting for a democrat. You literally couldn't get a worse governor than this clown! Any democrat couldn't be worse, and heck, he might be better!
