OMG. just a couple of weeks ago that would have been a high number......for the entire state
With the current number, only 280 each and it will tip it over 5K.
I don't see how Bexar county would be under that based off of the last week or so.
Maybe abbott should do something about the rampant mask "liberty" crap instead of gently chiding people. Your literally going to force the state into shutdown at this rate.
The fact that he even considers closing an option is indicative of how bad things are getting. No way he even mentions it as a possibility if things weren't disastrous.What a joke.
DO SOMETHING

Gov. Greg Abbott urges voluntary measures to curb coronavirus spread but says closing Texas will be "the last option"
Thousands more Texans tested positive for the new coronavirus over the weekend, and the state has reported 11 consecutive days of record-high hospitalizations.www.texastribune.org
Yeah, I live in AZ and I've talked to a few people here that argue things 'aren't that bad' here because the death rate is still low. They don't seem to understand a decent percentage of all these new cases will likely turn into deaths. Typically someone that test positive doesn't go straight to the hospital either, so it's like 2-3 weeks after cases start going up that you can really gauge the death toll.
I don't think a lot of people here are going to take this seriously until they have close family members affected by Covid. It's really sad and unfortunate, but that seems to be the reality.
5112 now. With the amount of cases since last week, hospitalizations are going to spike hard in a couple weeks.
My fucking grandparents and parents went out to eat at a Willy's Ice House (inside, of course) on Saturday. They are 80 and 85. Those idiots are going to get themselves hospitalized or killed to own the libs. No masks, of course, that's fascism. And my grandma is flying to Florida to meet her 74 year old sister and to then travel up to New York. I'm pissed that they aren't taking this at all seriously
..........Fuck it, I am buying a beer after work tomorrow. What a shitshow. This country (inc. A lot of states) is run by a bunch of rich manchildren who throw a hissy fit if things don't go their way and get people killed in an attempt to make $$ as a result. And people vote for these toddlers! God.
Kind of agree. Perhaps planting that seed for when things get horrible out there.
I'm surprised air travel is still an option in America, blows my mind
As a teacher, there's no way we'll be back in the buildings in August (even if that's late August). I don't know any district that has set plans in place yet, and there's only about a month and a half until school usually starts back up. With these numbers continuing to rise with seemingly no end in sight thanks to not only a national government that refuses to do anything about, but a state one too, throwing a bunch of people into buildings in close proximity would be fucking stupid.
Abbott might be saying we can reopen with absolutely no need for masks/testing, but a hell of a lot can and probably will change in the next month. Once parents start complaining, I don't see that "policy" being kept in place.

At least most airliners now force their customers to wear masks on board
when you say most, that means some are not requiring masks? oh no
Oh there's a way. In fact, it's still probable. I think most districts will do hybrid learning so only half of the students are in the building on any given day. Kids in elementary school would need someone at home with them, which would generally be the mother, keeping her out of work for another year. Schools almost have to open up this fall. Virus will still be around in the spring too so whatever they do in the fall will probably be done in the spring.
I was seriously expecting it to get shut down in March. I was in FL as part of a longer trip as this was heating up. Rented a car to drive back to Texas in case the announcement was made.
Little did I know, the feds basically did nothing.
Some people are on a Ventilator for more than a month before they finally die. You will be feeling the effects in your state's death toll for months. At least NY was able to shut down right as deaths started cresting, you guys are probably going to stay open and just keep the nightmare going, as a NYer I pray for AZ, TX, FL etc. and hope we're wrong and it's mostly young people getting it and the death rate is a lot lower
I could see dividing classes into two groups (let's say 3A and 3B as an example, 3rd Grade A group and 3rd grade B group) and then alternating the days they come (One week 3A would come M,W,F, 3B comes T, TH, and then they alternate the following week), but either way it's going to be a huge mess with parents and logistics. I would certaintly prefer to teach in an actual classroom (especially at the elementary school level, online teaching was just not effective in the spring), but with how big our class sizes usually are (my two classes last year were 28 and 26) figuring out how to do it safely is going to be a bit of a hassle.
What a joke.

God, I hate this guy and I don't even live in Texas. Hmmm indeed, Greg.
Like when a football player starts celebrating 5 yards before scoring, gets tackled, fumbles, and the opponent runs it all the way back to their endzone

President Trump: Next Stimulus Bill Will Be ‘Very Generous’ And Announced In A ‘Couple Of Weeks’

yup generous to the 'people'
can you add a number below these posts so we can know how many days total that this trend has continued. :/
Good suggestion. But to answer your question, it has been a new high everyday since June 10. So about 13 days.
Only 0.0038% of Texans have any morals? Damn. Greg Abbott must be really dragging that score down.
Nah. The better comparison is celebrating when a team has a 2-1 series lead and is winning by 4 runs in the 8th inning only for the team to blow the lead, the game, and the series. Cause that happened.

Its gonna be that stupid $4000 vacation bullshit, isn't it?
Both my parents are teachers in Spring Branch ISD. They are both back at the main building and are doing summer school with a reduced number of children and social distancing. It fucking infuriates me.
Wow, really? I'm with a charter district and our "summer school" this year is really nothing but small group tutoring online, and my mom teaches for CFISD and as far as I know they're not in physical buildings yet either.

Its going to be that vacation tax nonsense thing. And if we do end up getting another stimulus check it won't be $1,200 again. It'll be $500.
Texas hospital number went up by 302 yesterday. That's 8.9% increase in 1 day.
From May 31st, hospital numbers has gone up by 2027. That's a 120% increase in 22 days.

My school is doing this too but offering it in-class or online. From what I been told, the numbers for in-class are very small, everyone wears masks, and temps are checked twice a day. Meanwhile, the online numbers are very big. Still ridiculous that on-campus summer school is a thing right now :\
Admin was trying to get me to do summer school before the year was over and thankfully I had my legit excuse ready for them (surgery) to avoid that disaster.
I suspect it'll be the vacation thing plus about half of what was given before. So it'll be "Go on vacation and use this money, since this money is like double with the vacation thing!"
