OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting (1 Viewer)

[Lanny]

It's amazing that people who don't trust the government think the vaccine is unsafe because a government agency hasn't said it's fully approved.

In Jersey, Gov. Murphy is following the CDC and now we have to wear masks indoors again. What say you Oregon?

Gov. Greg Abbott makes urgent appeal for medical staff come to Texas to fight surging COVID and tells overwhelmed hospitals to postpone all elective surgery - but refuses to lift his ban on mask mandates as virus rips through state

• Texas is ranking second only to Florida for new daily COVID-19 infections
• The governors of both are resisting reintroducing masks and social distancing
• Texas's governor, Greg Abbott, on Monday issued a cry for help for medical staff
• The state capital, Austin, only has six available ICU beds, 499 available hospital beds and 313 available ventilators for 2.4 million people
• Statewide the rolling two-week daily average of new COVID-19 cases in his state has increased by 165 per cent
• Only 45 per cent of the state's residents have been fully vaccinated against the virus

He is following that stubborn attitude that Texans inherently have. The Governor should initiate masks and stop being a political barnacle on the the political landscape. Fool! .

Rogan another guy who has spiraled and lost his mind. Used to be a little bit normal. Roided up and completely unlistenable now

Of course he's not. His political future doesn't depend on minimizing cases or deaths or the general good of Texas--his political future depends on hewing to Republican dogma about masks and vaccines.

Because New York was hit before this country started taking it at all seriously... New York is what finally woke half of the country up... over the last 7 days Florida has had more than 4 times the death rate as NY.

Nebraska’s doing something right

I would think population density matters. The whole social distancing thing

Gov. Brown to announce new statewide face mask mandate for indoor public places in Oregon

Gov. Brown said she will announce new indoor mask requirements Wednesday. She's also requiring all state employees be fully vaccinated by October 18.

Yes, they're not reporting numbers anymore. They've given up.

2,329 cases? That must be a daily high

Down at South Beach State Park Newport and nobody is wearing mask inside or out.
And this place is a zoo!
We havent been inside anywhere but we walked by a bunch of restaurants on the Wharf no mask.
I wonder come friday or whenever the mandate stats just how many of these tourist attractions will require it?

She'll allow a religious exception but not a scientific one? Dumb.

Where in that literature did it say anything about the delta variant, specifically? They aren’t even testing for the delta variant.

Call any hospital, clinic or testing center right now and ask them if you can get tested for the delta variant specifically.

Let me know what they all say.

That’s kind of ironic, but if they really want to do us a favor they should institute a travel ban for a real viral hell hole like Texas or Florida.
