Already had to have a strong conversation last night with some friends about how they believe, "cases will spike" "there will be more deaths" and "Texas will be worse off" without abbots mandate. Hard to get through to them too, They truly believe that mask work to "slow the spread" that lockdowns worked 100% and we still could do more. I pointed out Florida doing extremely well, and South Dakota, but they still think they did worse than like New York once no mandated masks. I also realized that one of them said "New York didn't have a death a few days ago", but he was looking at New York city, New York, and I didn't call him out. He was also kind of condescending saying things like, "it doesn't matter what evidence I show you because you guys will always think its fake." I just needed to vent to y'all about it, wish me luck here in Texas, I think the crazies are about to loose it since Freedom is back on the menu.

Where I live, (CA) most of the cases in the second wave of the epidemic came from Mexico.
With all the factory shutdowns in the US, new factories were set up just across the border, with very poor hygiene. The disease got in the factories. People who live and work across the border suddenly accounted for half the total cases.
Worse, the "doctors" would test symptomatic people, and send them home undiagnosed and untreated. Even if the test came back positive in a few days, the patients were left untreated.
If you had your own doctor, of course, you could get treated, provided always the doctor was willing to stand up to the local medical boards, who did threaten doctors for prescribing outpatient treatment for COVID-19.
The big difference between Texas and California is that Texas recognizes that outpatient treatment for COVID-19 is available, and encourages people to get it.
Tell your lefty friends that you love them, and if they get a sniffle, treat it on an outpatient basis like COVID-19, so they can snuff viral reproduction out in the early replication phase.
