Horse manure on Guv Abbot

Texas Governor Abbott: “We’re Not Gonna Have Another Shutdown”

He be dumb because:
AUSTIN, Texas The crush of the coronavirus surge in El Paso has the city sending its non-COVID-19 cases to hospitals elsewhere in the state, officials said Tuesday.

El Paso confirmed 994 new COVID-19 cases and 13 new deaths Tuesday, and Austin Mayor Steve Adler confirmed that Austin-area hospitals are receiving non-coronavirus patients from overwhelmed hospitals in the border city.

In a Facebook Live update on Monday night, Adler said that El Paso was in a “world of hurt” and that numbers in Dallas, San Antonio and Houston were “scarier than ours, and our numbers are scary enough by themselves.”

El Paso’s health care systems became overwhelmed even after the state sent additional medical resources, Adler said. He added that he was concerned that if Dallas, Houston and San Antonio hospitals also required help, Austin's resources would have little to no capacity to treat its own cases if its COVID-19 numbers reached a similar level.

Folks in Texas may be smart enough to keep their cool a few months till the vaccine arrives.  No one expects brains fro the guv down there.
