There's so much going on that I haven't been able to discuss everything on my blog here. I tend to focus on just one or two issues per day, but I did want to point out that the protests have been continuing in the form of people pulling down statues of Confederate leaders and slave owners. Trump has seemed more concerned about protecting those statues than protecting people from the coronavirus.
Side note: Today was a cheesy tuna helper day for me.
On to today's main topic though: Texas Gov. Abbott is using bars as a scapegoat for why the numbers of infected people has gone up so much.
The government wants us to believe that the main reason the numbers have gone up is because people are drinking and getting all touchy-feely spreading the virus? Oh please. It's face masks! Come on Abbot. I expected better for you. I really appreciated you in the spring when you kept the schools closed, but I don't know what to think of you now. It appears you're sucking up to Trump and doing what he asks by re-opening the state too quickly (ignoring your own criteria) and then failing to mandate masks. You don't even seem to be fighting the removal of federal funds for testing. So sad!
Meanwhile the numbers have gone up even more in Florida.
What are they going to blame there? Beach bars? Come on people! The overall numbers are just insane. I hope we survive this.
Be safe out there (and I'll be safe in here)!
