Hello <<First Name>>,

Joe HydeIt’s past time Judge Steve Floyd rescinds the County’s Covid disaster declaration.

In the northeast corner of the DFW Metroplex, Collin County Judge Chris Hill took the lead in Texas by rescinding his local disaster declaration made March 16, 2020. At 10 a.m. Friday morning, Feb. 26, 2021, Hill ended his county’s emergency orders with the final sentence of a new order that read, “I hereby rescind and cancel the Declaration of Local Disaster for Public Health Emergency for Collin County.”

Collin County, with its 1.035 million population (2019) and home to the City of McKinney, reported 292 new Covid-19 infections Friday, the same day the order was rescinded, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. Fatalities in Collin County from Covid have dropped to just a trickle, low single digits since Feb. 3.

Judge Hill said he made his decision because Covid hospitalizations have fallen below 10 percent of Collin County hospital capacity and he noted that the entire Collin County Commissioners’ Court is behind him, according to The Texan.

Hill told The Texan he drafted the order rescinding the emergency declaration on Sept. 24 last year, but did not publish it then because he was warned some municipalities, residents and businesses may lose eligibility for CARES Act funding. A few weeks later, on Oct. 9, Collin County bars were opened at 50 percent while judges in sister counties in the Metroplex kept bars closed. On that day, Governor Greg Abbott had issued an executive order stating that re-opening bars and increasing capacity at restaurants was at the discretion of county judges.

Tom Green County Judge Steve Floyd should consider rescinding the emergency here, too. Covid-19 hospitalizations and new infections have dwindled to a trickle here where only 14 new cases were added to the rolls on Friday, Feb. 26. Only 16 are hospitalized, down from over a 100 hospitalizations during the peak of the pandemic just months ago.

In his October declaration, Governor Abbott put rising hospitalization rates at the forefront as the reason to shutdown local economies. His order noted that should a trauma service region’s percentage of Covid-19 patients rise above 15 percent of total hospital bed capacity, bars should be ordered closed and the capacity at restaurants reduced. Tom Green County’s medical facilities account for the vast majority of hospital beds in the multi-county trauma service area that envelopes the Concho Valley. There are 846 staffed hospital beds in our region. With 16 hospitalized for Covid-19 as of Feb. 26, those patients make up only 1.9 percent of capacity. Our region has held Covid-19 hospitalizations under 4 percent capacity for a week. In neighboring regions like Abilene and Midland/Odessa, the Covid hospitalization rate has been at around 4 percent. Even Lubbock has low hospitalization rates, just above 5 percent until Friday when it dropped to 4.37 percent.

Remember why in March a year ago the lockdowns were initially mandated? The reason for destroying the most robust economy in the world was to provide time and space for our hospitals to obtain PPE, ventilators, and staffing to handle a large influx of patients. Do you remember “15 days to stop the spread”? Now, not 15 days later, but nearly 325 days — almost year — later, at 1.6 percent Covid-19 hospitalizations and shrinking, isn’t it time to remind our leaders why we had lockdowns to begin with?

In addition to the very low hospitalization rates, the vaccine is now widely administered. The Texas Tribune reported that there are 72,801 vaccine doses administered each day across Texas and as of Feb. 25, 5.8 percent of all Texans have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

Vaccination rates are not the full picture. Across the state, there have been 2.3 million Covid-19 cases and an additional 353,630 probably cases, and those who have had Covid now have natural immunities and antibodies.

By adding together the 1.7 million vaccinated Texans with another 2.7 million recovered from Covid and with natural immunity, it totals 4.8 million who are known to not be at risk. How many more have recovered from Covid-19 but were never tested?

In Tom Green County, the health department reported Friday, Feb. 26, that 16,324 county citizens have recovered from Covid-19 over the past year while Shannon is vaccinating more than 3,000 citizens a week (and that’s just Shannon), according to State vaccine allocation reports. The number of Tom Green County residents who are with known immunity to Covid-19 is approaching 30-40 percent of its 117,000 population. How many more have recovered from Covid-19 but never tested?

At a press conference in Corpus Christi Thursday, Feb. 25, Governor Abbott said he was thinking about lifting all statewide orders concerning Covid, to include ending the mask mandate.

Not only are the chances of catching Covid falling fast, the chances of anyone under 65 dying of Covid-19 are extremely small. Seniors can continue to socially distance. Opening up our economy, ditching the masks, and getting back to work will save more lives than cowering in corners clutching to a bottle of Purell while avoiding our neighbors.

Judge Floyd can help Abbott make that decision but joining Collin County’s judge in leading the state by signaling to Abbott that we need to be repealing Covid restrictions. The crisis now isn’t Covid, but how the shutdowns harmed almost every local business in the city except Walmart and H-E-B. The Texas economy demands a new tactic in leadership. Will Judge Floyd get Tom Green County to lead the state by calling for an end to the Covid madness here now? Will the Tom Green County Commissioners’ Court stand behind Judge Floyd if he does?

Let’s get back to work!

Group asks Supreme Court justices to ban use of race in college admissions "A group claiming Harvard discriminates against Asian American applicants is asking the Supreme Court to ban the consideration of race in college admissions nationwide. With an expanded 6-3 conservative majority since the last time the court heard an affirmative action case, the court could decide in the spring whether to take up the issue anew. Lower courts have rejected the claims made by Students for Fair Admissions that Harvard imposed a “racial penalty” on Asian American applicants. In November, the federal appeals court in Boston ruled that Harvard looked at race in a limited way in line with Supreme Court precedents." More at CBS7

Gov. Greg Abbott weighing end to mask order, other statewide coronavirus rules, says announcement coming “pretty soon” "Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday that Texas is looking at when it will be able to lift all statewide orders related to the coronavirus pandemic and that an announcement is forthcoming. Abbott made the comments at a Corpus Christi news conference where he was asked when the statewide mask mandate would end as Texans continue to get vaccinated. That requirement has been in effect since July. Abbott called it a “great question.”" More at Texas Tribune

Gov. Abbott gives 2 reasons why ERCOT is responsible, not a scapegoat, for storm outages "Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the Electric Reliability Council of Texas failed Texans in two important ways that led to near-statewide blackouts at the height of the historic winter storm. Abbott was speaking in Corpus Christi while highlighting the state’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout, but took questions about ERCOT as state lawmakers started hearings Thursday to investigate the reasons for the Texas blackouts."

The Texas freeze's silent victims: wildebeest, gemsbok antelope and other 'exotic' animals "The deaths are still being counted, but last week's extreme winter weather in Texas left yet another group of victims in its wake: exotic animals. Days of freezing temperatures kept the state blanketed in ice and snow, and despite the frenzied efforts of breeders, ranchers and other caretakers to maintain water and food supplies, the losses grew: Axis deer. Blackbuck and gemsbok antelope. Wildebeest. Even a 58-year-old chimpanzee named Violet, who had been retired to a special refuge after being used in biomedical research." More at MySanAntonio

Texas woman whose electric bill soared over $9,000 files class-action lawsuit seeking $1 billion from Griddy "A Texas woman filed a class-action lawsuit seeking $1 billion in relief for customers of electricity retailer Griddy, which the suit says illegally engaged in price gouging amid widespread power outages across the state last week. Lisa Khoury, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of all Griddy customers who were charged the high prices, faced a $9,546 electric bill from Feb. 1 through Feb. 19 as a result of the massive spike in wholesale electric prices in Texas amid a severe winter storm. Griddy is a service that allows customers to pay variable rates on their electricity, being charged what wholesale customers would be charged, or "exactly the price we buy electricity at," the company says on its website, instead of a fixed price."

As far as the clean energy, the people in northern states (even the arctic) have wind power that works just fine in freezing temperatures, it's just the people in charge of the turbines would rather keep the money than install de-icing equipment.

Read this.

As for the "open Borders" policies, what exactly has passed and made it into law that has effects on the border itself? And not just immigrants already here? If you can't provide any, which I can't seem to find, then the policies right now are from the trump admin. Posting links is fine because I know how to highlight and paste them.

Teacher assaults a student,

The bad people above: ThEy ShoUlD HaVe BeaT hIm InStEaD, DuRrR

That kid should get PAID, and it should come out of the teachers pension, that is who should REALLY be taught a lesson. Hurting others is not a lesson, it is one step away from being nazi's. But I'm guessing that the other people responding here are part of the republican terrorist cult, so no surprise at all from those types.

 

Hmmm,

NEVER TALK TO POLICE, THEY WILL TRY TO COERCE A CONFESSION.

 

Well,
ME Someone, Thu, 02/25/2021 - 21:42

 

We are basically in a third world country when the terrorist republicans are in charge. This proves that the "off the grid because we don't have to abide by government regulations" is complete nonsense. And the republicans knew that, they just wanted more money and political talking points for the other republican terrorists.

 

Hmmm,
ME Someone, Thu, 02/25/2021 - 21:39

 

Did they already have a trial? You say "our great nation." which has a justice system, and the foundation of that justice system is innocent until proven guilty. Since you don't care about our laws I assume you don't care about this country.

"This isn't the first company recently that has rebranded due to the extreme lefts agenda."

How about;

When the republican terrorist trump tried to 'cancel' Goodyear?

The NFL,

The NBA,

Macy's,

Harley Davidson,

OREOS,

And numerous other companies, brands, and even people,

But I am not surprised that most of that list is American companies, we all know well how much the terrorist republicans hate America, they did try to overthrow the government in a sad failed attempt to install a reality show host as a dictator on the 6th of January afterall.

 

Well,
ME Someone, Thu, 02/25/2021 - 21:22

 

What are they going to do if they find the business? A fine? A slap on the wrist? If they just receive a fine then businesses will just see that as the cost of doing business and have no real incentive to fix the issue (one of the many problems with capitalism.) Take their business license away to send a message, because the next time this happens it could kill someone. Also, if the city decides on just a fine (which they probably will do, again capitalism) then some of that should go to the residents of paul ann that were affected in the form of a property tax rebate or something. Of course churches should be excluded from this because they didn't pray hard enough to prevent it.

 

Well,
ME Someone, Thu, 02/25/2021 - 21:13

 

"a Runnels County Deputy attempted to prevent the vehicle from getting away, however was drug approximately 50-75 feet"

This sounds like it is on the deputy for trying to stop a car, he wouldn't have been hurt if he had just let the suspect go and followed him. But then again the terrorist police are not the brightest bunch to be sure.

How stupid can we become??? Lets see... we can drop the Mr. from Mr. President and lady from the First lady. No more Mom and Dad, just parent 1 and parent 2. No more brother and sister, just my sibling and your sibling. No more bulls and cows, I'm not sure how you would work that out. In the movies - no more leading man or woman just leading person. Gender reveal parties will become illegal. No more bride or groom just participant 1 and 2. I guess you could write a book on this as long as there isn't a photo of the author in the book which would reveal if it was a male or female that wrote it. I suppose stupid really has no limits does it?

 

Becareful
Marie Wyke, Thu, 02/25/2021 - 07:07

 

Becareful putting your hands on other people's children, I would do time for mine.  You don't know whether that teacher is a bully or not.  You do not foot any part of the bills for that child (key word child). If the child needed to be disiplined, then send him home, but unless your life is in danger, do not touch someone else's child, I don't care how stressed you are.  Call the principle, that's what he is for!!! You OLD half dead men, get on my nerves, the country is in an uproar because of you and your out dated beliefs.  The teacher needs to learn to do a better job, controlling their class or get out of the business. You never put your hands on someone else's child. Keep sending them home, eventually the parents will get tired and handle their child, but in the mean time, they are being PAID to do a professional job dealing with kids. Get over you!

 

You are OLD and outdated!!!
Marie Wyke, Thu, 02/25/2021 - 07:02

 

Teachers have no right under any circumstances unless they are in danger and need to protect themselves. Other than that, they do not pay that child's bills and only have them for the time for which they are being paid for! Somedays, your JOB isn't easy, get out of that line of work if you are so stressed!!! His hair is of no concern of hers, if he is being disruptive, then deal with that, but the teacher had no right touching someone else's child, SEND HIM HOME IF HE IS CAUSING PROBLEMS!!! HAIR IS NOT A PROBLEM UNLESS HE WAS PLAYING IN IT.  You must be a real joy to be around with your uncontrolled, control issues! Send a check if you are so worried!

Finally a teacher with a spine. You could have just sent the little twirp home but instead you've actually taught him a lesson. Respect your teachers and the RULES. Disobeying them only gets you punished. The parents should also receive some scolding for letting their little punk go to school looking like that. Back in the day they would have spanked his spoiled bottom WITHOUT a phone call.

Doctor Ding-bat, Wed, 02/24/2021 - 19:24

 

Give me a break, a lawsuit ? Really ? ? ? .... I place the blame solidly on SAISD for not having and enforcing a strict dress and personal grooming policy. That teacher was doing her job just trying to teach. I can imagine how an unsightly and disgusting appearance could affect the morale in a classroom if someone doesn't care anymore about their appearance than to look shabby.......

FIX
Angry Bird, Wed, 02/24/2021 - 00:18

 

Instead of worrying about the roads being damaged. You should ask WHY they are damaged in the first place? 

The bulk of it comes from underneath with all the old wore out, rusty pipes. Replace them, instead of patching them. Get new pipes made from safe durable materials. The city has wasted millions of dollars just putting in new dog parks, sidewalks, etc.

Worry about the beautification later. Otherwise your going to have to dig up your "pretty" roads & sidewalks to fix the pipes. Stop patching & FIX the source of the problem first!!!  

After that FIX the ELECTRICITY!!!! Citizens are tired of these power outages & non sensible over charges to our bills. Both with water & energy.

OUR city of San Angelo deserves more than your patches.

Road Damage
Carla Horn, Tue, 02/23/2021 - 20:05

 

While I appreciate the pictures of the small holes in the street on Beauregard and College Hills, I have to wonder why no pictures on 29th or even 19th streets were shown.  Even Cornell St. that runs between HEB and the stores in the old Bowman Lumber building or the street that runs behind sonic and dollar tree off Sherwood Way.  Unfortunately, 29th and 19th street are often ignored due to the side of town it is on.  The street that runs from the end of Edmund and begins the stretch of 29th all the up to Armstrong St. is so bad now that you cant even drive on it.  19th street is becoming just as bad after all the ice and water.  Those of us that live on this side of town and use these roads are begging San Angelo to please fix these roads.  I have been her 31 years and the part of 29th from Edmond to Bryant has not been fixed it has been patched and that has only made it worse.  Dont you think it is time to fix some of the roads on this side of town instead of the wealthier side of town for a change?

Doctor Ding-bat, Tue, 02/23/2021 - 16:31

 

Well good...... Maybe now the city has been dealt a hand where they are forced to one or the other... Make the needed road repairs that have been ignored for years and years or tear up the old asphalt on the existing roads and lay down gravel roads, which would be ideally better than existing roads and with the swipe of a blade on a maintainer, all pot holes, low spots and rough spots are made smooth again, which again would be better than any existing roads.....................

Blanco9, Tue, 02/23/2021 - 16:11

 

Not exactly. Since one fourth of our power comes from wind and solar (a significant amount when a catastrophic failure occurs) the liberal mindset behind the GND hogwash is, at least, partially responsible.

On the other hand the “open border” policies being instituted by the Biden administration, which is quickly becoming a border crisis, is ALL on the democrats.

 

Add to the conversation
j j, Tue, 02/23/2021 - 06:00

 

Please add to the water future conversation the recognition and compensation of the great workers with the water department.  The historic challenge we experienced was met with historic effort or greater and went well beyond "just doing their job" or "they knew what the job paid when they took it" effort.  I think the city government should honor and celebrate the water department workers, pay them a decent bonus (beyond the overtime), and submit their efforts for any higher competition for awards.  Further, I am willing to contribute money to the cause.  Many thanks to the water department field workers who actually "saved our butts".
