"We've had 2,224 people die, and New York has had over 31,000," he bragged. "Even California has had almost three times as much as Texas, and remember, Laura, those two states have been locked down the whole time, while we haven't. So locking down doesn't work. If it did, those two states would be doing better than Texas."Yeah, I wanna see an independent body analyze Texas' mortality rates during the pandemic first, just to see if maybe there weren't a whole lot of deaths above the normal, expected rate that just somehow never got confirmed and counted as being a result of COVID-19. If that doesn't show up, then fine, I'll grant him that they had less deaths from it than expected, although I'm sure there are other factors at play beyond "lockdowns don't work".
In all of these late-lockdown Red states, individuals and local leaders were doing the right thing long before thier governors got around to it. It wasn't good enough, but it did slow the growth.
I always thought I would die being shot in the back by a jealous husband at the ripe old age of 103 ( with cause) . I have 38 years to go and I don't want these inbred cretins ruining my exit.

Yep.
I agree about that shirt. We should file a class action lawsuit against him for it.

Different Dan Patrick.
