Yet another federal bailout!

Oh, I just checked the seven-day rolling average of Covid DEATHS. Texas is about 400% higher than New York State.

 

Wrong, look at the Johns Hopkins numbers

 

NYS - 641

Florida - 115

Texas - 482

 

NYS has the smaller population of the 3 but more deaths.

 

I have lived in NYC my entire life, so I know it significantly better than Toxic kevin.  Subway/bus ridership is off 50% from pre-pandemic.  The commuter lines are down 66%.  With people working remotely, foot traffic in Manhattan is down over 30% according to Springboard.  So the Toxic kevin excuse doesn't fly for the huge increase.

 

I don't see where Texas rejected vaccine shipments, but they have rejected mandates. 

 

It's the counties that voted the strongest for Trump that have the highest percentage of Covid cases, so let em get sick from something that is preventable.

 

Cjen - you are wrong, NYC with the strictest mandates has the most cases.


Tommie-poo doesn't yet understand that densely populated cities, especially those in colder climates, will always have more cases than less densely populated areas.

 

He claims to live in New York City, but somehow doesn't understand that it's densely populated.

So what.


They don't deserve any assistance, not after the idiot politicians whom they elected and cheer for have done everything in their power to spread the virus, to the extent that you'd think covid had contributed to their election campaigns.

As of Dec 30, 62.7% of Americans have been fully vaccinated, while 66% of Texans have been fully vaccinated.

 

Here's my small sample experience on who's getting and not getting the shot.  My local pub has a mix of patrons who are about 50% "white collar" workers and the balance are laborers.  Of this group, about 90% of the white collars folks are vaccinated, and about 50% of the blue collar guys are not.

 

My fully vaccinated 30 year old son was diagnosed with Covid on December 23, and one day before his trip to visit me from Denver.  He was flu like sick for two days with chills and aches, then tired for two days, and fine after that.  His visit has been pushed back to February.

Boiler, if that is the case, why isn't Texas pulling itself up by it's bootstraps rather than asking for a handout?  Do they think they are such special ❄️ flakes in Texas that they should get a handout even though according to you and Tom they aren't worse off than a lot of blue states.

They probably figure that since our lawmakers already passed federal laws earmarking 1.7 trillion dollars for covid relief that they deserve their fair share of that particular boondoggle.  Otherwise remind me why Texans pay federal taxes.

Once again Toxic kevin's rhetoric doesn't stand up to the facts as he acts like Florida & Texas  are bunch of farms. 

 

Dallas- Fort Worth & Houston combined met population is almost 15m. Florida's large met areas are also huge population centers.

Like every other state they have already received their share. Welfare queen Abbott wants more. Texans are moochers. The Texas positivity rate was at 34 percent as of yesterday.

Yes, Tommie-poo, you moron, Texas and Florida each have several large cities. That doesn't change the fact that both states have much lower overall population densities than New York City.

Abbott knows he will suffer absolutely no political consequences by transforming from a FREEDUMB-loving anti-vax asshole to one who suddenly wants to suck hard at the federal tit.

 

Texas has been acting like it's a separate country. We should consider sending them foreign aid, but not until each and every other state has received what it needs. One positive consequence of the virus has been fewer Texans. I wonder how many MAGA cowboys are shivering and gasping in hospital beds, regretting their attendance at a recent RepubliQ hate rally. Yee haw!

Toxic kevin continues to dig his hole. Over half of the Texas population lives in 2 cities, over half of Florida's population lives in just 3. Meanwhile less than half of the NYS population lives in NYC, but somehow in kevin's mind NYC is denser.
