zoux posted:I doubt it's any better here, but it seems to me that capacity limits and table spacing etc. are again just theater and there's no level of being-indoors-with-people-you-don't-know-who-aren’t-masked-for-some-period-of-time that's both safe and economically feasible. Indoor dining just has to be on hold until this is over, the end. NJ was slated to begin easing restrictions on restaurants this week, but they postponed that on Monday. I agree, bars and dine-in restaurants are places you go specifically not to wear a mask or engage in social distancing, they're just fundamentally incompatible with containing the spread of the virus. Closing them down is going to devastate the industry and put a lot of them out of businesses and a lot of people out of work, but I don't see how we can keep reopening them without getting new outbreaks. In a sane world we'd ease the pain by offering federal financial support for bars/restaurants and their employees in order to keep them in business until this is over, but, alas, most bars need four or five extra zeroes behind their revenue figures for the feds to even consider bailing them out. The Rivard Report (a San Antonio nonprofit newspaper) sends out a daily newsletter on the pandemic. Weirdly, they do not seem to put it on their website, it's only in an email, so I have no link. But this paragraph seemed like new reporting I haven't seen anywhere else: Rivard Report posted:Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff, along with other officials around the state, have asked Gov. Greg Abbott to restore the ability for local governments to impose preventative measures, including potential Stay Home/Work Safe restrictions. A decision on that could come as soon as Tuesday, Nirenberg said, and Bexar County could go back under lockdown ahead of the Fourth of July weekend.

Is it even particularly clear that Abbott has the power to forbid local jurisdictions from requiring masks? I know he said they couldn't in his executive order, but most of the emergency management powers are very specific. There are a few broad ones, like 418.012, which he seems to be using as justification to claim powers not specifically outlined in the disaster act, but would his removal of local authority to enforce rules that are clearly intended to preserve public health actually hold up in court?

Back Hack posted:My prediction is that Abbot does gently caress all. If the outcry is big enough from the big property condo owners and places of business he'll do something. My guess is he won't do anything till after July 4th, since then it won't matter and he'll look like he still supports small businesses.

Calling it now the Tuesday after the 4th of July Abbott has Texas back into shutdown. The Republicans will eat him alive if they can't celebrate but we are literally running out of places to put covid patients. He's already done the setup to blame it on young people and the rest of the Republicans are blaming it on the protests. They have a cover story and most businesses aren't making gently caress all for revenue

I suspect the thread leans towards West; I've seen some pro-Royce sentiment, I've seen some anti-Hegar sentiment, but I don't think I've seen much pro-Hegar sentiment. Also, lol: https://twitter.com/AlexSamuelsx5/status/1278035852216631302

Elective surgeries are banned, too. FFS, Abbott really screwed this up, but you can't ignore the idiocy of the "MAH FREEDOMS" crowd plus young invincibles. We're definitely getting lockdown v. 2.0, even after evictions resume tomorrow. Christ.

Welp, Hegar's history of donating to republicans was enough to finally get my dad to drop support, though I'm not sure why her poo poo politics wasn't enough lol. He hadn't heard about it until I told him, so my guess is that people aren't watching this very closely and we're going to end up with Hegar anyway.

https://twitter.com/JimVertuno/status/1278071898207903748 Hospitalizations jumped too, but as with case counts Monday is skewed high due to the weekend. When you do the 7-day rolling average increase, it's the same as before - on pace to double every 10 days, just like it did in the last 10 days.

So those state figures above say 21 deaths, but Dallas County seems to be reporting 20 deaths... so either Dallas County was particularly unlucky today, or the state's figures are a bit light. And this is one tiny little bit of good news: https://twitter.com/SAcurrent/status/1278065971295653888

Just cancelled a planned early July trip to meet up with my parents/brother/stepbrother in Illinois then drive up to Wisconsin for a few days in a lake house. The day I booked my airline tickets is the day before cases started exploding again, so this whole thing is probably my fault, sorry y'all. My parents may vote Republican but they're still human beings (so far) so they were very understanding, at least.

San Antonio just made a new public health order. Good to see something at least? But we really need to shut down.quote:SAN ANTONIO (June 30, 2020) — Today, Mayor Ron Nirenberg signed a fourth addendum to his Eighth Emergency Health Declaration ordering expanded safety requirements for businesses. The order is effective noon on Thursday, July 2 and will remain in place indefinitely.
