    The COVID messaging from Texas and Harris County gov't could not be more different right now: @LinaHidalgoTX: Stay home at all times except for essential errands! @GregAbbott_TX: No mask order, all businesses back open to 100%! Who will people listen to?https://twitter.com/zachdespart/status/1366837856778526720 …

    Texas Gov. @GregAbbott_TX has removed the state's COVID-19 mask rules after 8 months. Positivity rate when he issued mask order July 2 was 20%. Now it's below 9%. (We've never gotten below 6% since April)

        I take my orders from @LinaHidalgoTX. Abbott has failed us at every step.

        Neither of them. It's somewhere in the middle, and the dissonance between them is what has made this so painful for everyone.

        Celebrating before crossing the finish line is a good way to lose.

        They’ll listen to @LinaHidalgoTX if they are smart and care about others.

        Actually, the better question is: if people change their behavior re: mask wearing and congregating in crowded places, When will they do so? Before or after Texas reaches herd immunity against at least garden variety COVID?
