Texas Gov. Greg Abbott paused any further phases to reopen the state on Thursday and issued an order to ensure hospital beds be available for Covid-19 patients.
Abbott's moves came as his state, California and Florida — the three-most populous — set records for new coronavirus cases daily amid fears of "apocalyptic" surges in major Texas cities if the trend continues.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a budget emergency to free up $16 billion to fight the pandemic, according to a release from his office.
And the head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the US has only counted about 10% of coronavirus infections. That might mean as many as 20 million Americans have been infected.
Officially, coronavirus has killed at least 122,238 people and infected almost 2.4 million nationwide, according to Johns Hopkins.

Corona Virus says: “When Texas said – Don’t Mess With Texas, I didn’t get the memo and I can’t read”.
Texans can’t read either.

@Curt N It’s the Texans, Floridians, and Arizonians that are invading us here in CA. We need to build a wall! But seriously, there are pockets, mostly in Orange and San Diego counties as well as in our central valley that are very red sections of the state. We see them protest on the local news about how their civil liberties are being trampled on and refuse to wear masks even though it is required by law in most business. I don’t care if they want to risk their health but they show no consideration for anyone other than themselves. Wonder where that comes from? Oh, I know! It from their dear leader. Ya just can’t fix stupid.
Texas has a big head.
We said it was gonna get worse if they re-opened 😂 why are they acting surprised 💀
@Know.FeaR. Wow what a ‘free’ country! You can choose between loosing your home with no money or dying from Covid 19. Luckily, I live in ‘socialist’ Europe, where we have a decent social system and could stay home until the pandemic was over!
So all of you selfish libtards have basements with mom’s groceries or stay at home jobs?
What about construction and service workers who can’t work from home, or scream at mom for more hot pockets.
You idiots will kill small business and boost multinationals that can survive this…
@MrSparklespring Well, as an American, I prefer working and supporting myself instead of being lazy and entitled and expecting hand-outs.
@Mr407Mike morons think a mask is a magic force field against a microscopic virus.
@Jim Robinson, “you’re”. There’s nothing in this world for you if you can’t even know the correct “you’re” to use. Bless your heart for thinking more is out there for you though…..
Where in the world when admitted to hospitals for a virus infection, it is a political and not a health problem….
America. That’s all.
@Yanira Pinilla I see Putin has his troll army out trying to protect his investment.
Save your breath – it’s not going to work.
You can’t spin piles of corpses.
Precisely! I know someone who works at a hospital who is coming home early because nobody with COVID is there! This is fake news!
@Ingrid Schmid how is a ship with bulkheads and The ability to seal off major sections to contain flooding, not safe for a viral pandemic. Please explain.
This thing would have vastly better access control than a hospital.
In the United States of Denial.
Trump should invite the governor of Florida back to the White House 😂
Big big liar, nó one believe cnn nó more, why the BLM came out tô protest, looting, burn and murder cnn and the evils media don’t say not thing. The hospital where l live (l just discharged )from there, nó corona patient at all. Don’t try tô spread the scare tô American. We instead have the virus then let you guy do the devils, try tô help china leader, we know you guy get paid for from him. We nó more scare. I wonder you are AMERICAN? Quít evils. Shame ơn all of media and dems.
Kung Flu is a Chicom scam 🇨🇳🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Chris topher nobody is telling you to hide in your house. They’re asking for common sense lmao
@Kevin Arzola Shhhhhh
@Kevin Arzola Was not much common sense when the protesters spread the virus for the last 3 weeks now was there? When are Democrats gonna protest the violence within the Black community against one another. Last year the chance of a Black American being killed by a cop was 0.00001499% of 1%. That’s 15 Millionths of 1%. In 2019 – 9 unarmed Black American killed out of 60,000,000+ public police interactions. That’s 15 Millionths of 1% a Black American will be killed by a cop. This year it’s even less. In 2019, twice as many unarmed Whites were killed by cops. But that fact you don’t know, do you? So they spread Covid and riot for 15 Millionth of 1%? Where’s the common sense?
It must have been that rally trump had! Definitely not anything else.
Staring at them like no sh*t. Y’all weren’t wearing masks then get surprised???????
@rob jones masks are not a “100% COVID19 proof”, but its a “lowers the chances of catching it”
Some science is not always 100%, why do you think there are scientists who are making more theories? It’s always being studied, revised, and later on studied again
You leftists are so goddamn stupid you think a face mask is a magic force field that a microscopic virus can’t get through or around.
@Curt N Because the numbers are fucking fake.
CDC also came out and said that asymptomatic people rarely spread the virus
Ya know? I think it’s actually that way for MOST VIRUSES ON THE PLANET.
Texas residence here: literally nobody cares about the virus lmao!
Obviously
@Rusty Nail I live around a bunch of happy old people and they don’t give af about Covid. Everyone is healthy here in Texas.
No one should care. The more people die, the better.
@Rui Cunha I did the math, it’s over 99.7%, that’s including all the people that had a cough and got hit by a bus that NYs lying about saying its a covid death
@Ocasio-Cortez4prez2022
And you DON’T think the orange man bad?
Should be a propaganda ad with the caption: “Hate wearing a mask? Then you’ll hate wearing a ventilator”.
Trolly Trollsteen,
Precisely! Hypocrites!
I know someone who works in a hospital and they are having to go home early most nights because the hospital is almost EMPTY. They have no COVID-19 patients there yet we’re still being told to quarantine. Even Dr. Fauci said in a 60 Minutes interview that the masks people are using and making are useless because they fidget with their masks inoculating themselves. You have to very specifically take gloves, masks and clothes off so you don’t contaminate yourself and most people don’t know the procedures to do that; nobody’s being taught how. This is a ridiculous plot to control the people!
People that don’t wear masks are going to pay for their stupidity. I’m okay with that.
@winesap2
Unfortunately other people will pay as well. THAT’S the problem. If only the idiots got sick, nobody would care.
@oO0 Aegis 0Oo
If the hospital is not in a area with high transmission rates, then it probably WOULD be empty, wouldn’t it? Duh
don’t have too much sympathy for “stupid”
@Alex Cruz says a weak minded grown up who uses emojis.
The stupid ones are the people who actually believe a virus is spreading in the middle of summer. If you don’t know what the Democrats are up to, READ about the New World Order. They want to CONTROL us and in order to do that they must DIVIDE us. Bill Gates is ON RECORD saying we need to depopulate the planet. The U.N. wrote about of this in their Agenda 21 manual. They said they want to depopulate the earth down to a “sustainable level” of 500 million. We have 320 million in the U.S. alone, so what do they plan on doing with the 7.5 BILLION people around the world? Maybe we need to look at Wuhan for the answer to that question. Did you know that 21 million cell phone accounts were terminated there over the final 3 months of 2019? Maybe the Communist Chinese government forced their people to take a fatal dose of a vaccine. Did you know Bill Gates had a microchip ready to implant in all our hands this year? The patent number is 2020 60606. He also has new type of vaccine that illuminates on your arm. The name of the ingredient is Luciferase. Notice the reference to the devil in both the vaccine and the microchip? Bill Gate’s wife, which many believe is a transgender, was videotaped wearing an upside down cross while being interviewed a few weeks ago. Chelsea Clinton has also been photographed wearing one like it. And Larry Nichols, the former manager of the Clintons gave an interview a couple years ago where he spoke of how he use to take Hillary to monthly Satanic rituals. Have you heard of the Bohemian Grove? That is a secret location where the elite globalist meet each year to discuss the fate of the people and discuss how to go about turning us into their slaves. They have been secretly videotaped wearing black robes and face masks and performing rituals in front of a 30 foot statue of a devilish figure called Moloch. And how about the Satanic statues that now grace some of our state capital buildings like the one of Baphomet in Arkansas. Do you see the pattern here? Did you know we now have an after school program for our children called AFTER SCHOOL SATAN??? Look these things up people. Don’t take my word for it. LEARN before it is too late. These people have been trying to take over this nation since Bush Sr. was president. He was part of the Illuminati and so are his sons. They also belong to the Skull and Bones Society, another secretive and Satanic group. Look up the video of JFK before he was murdered by our CIA. He spoke of how our nation was being taken over by secret societies who wanted to take away our freedoms and turn us into slaves. The writing is on the wall if you will just open your eyes and seek the truth.
Kathy are you trying to be edgy?
@KATHY GOLDADE This!!!!! is some good stuff!
@KATHY GOLDADE what type of crack are you on and where do I get some
Jake is turning into one of the grumpy old muppet characters.
Common guys. Increased testing means increased cases. !!! Oh. I forgot the deaths. That’s accidental right!!!
This has been so poorly handled.
@midas mixuk Michigan Governor: Allow me to Introduce myself.
@untseac Remember, these are the same people who thought Trump started caging kids at the border because they were told so by CNN instead of doing their own research into Obama’s antics. A good Democrat is an uninformed one.
VOTE
I wonder why? It’s not like these states didn’t have a warning in what happened in New York and New Jersey.
Thank you, Incompetence in Chief.
All they have to do is protest what the media approves of-instant cure.
I’ve been social distancing since I was in high school, this is nothing
Carlos Yota nice
Me too, I love it
Ha ha! Being an introvert does that. Anyway, I know someone who works in a hospital and they are having to go home early most nights because the hospital is almost EMPTY. They have no COVID-19 patients there yet we’re still being told to quarantine. Even Dr. Fauci said in a 60 Minutes interview that the masks people are using and making are useless because they fidget with their masks inoculating themselves. You have to very specifically take gloves, masks and clothes off so you don’t contaminate yourself and most people don’t know the procedures to do that; nobody’s being taught how. This is a ridiculous plot to control the people!
@oO0 Aegis 0Oo, do you also think wearing clothes in public is a ridiculous plot to control people?
Hospital is empty and nobody has it here where I’m at. Must be another part of texas.
I’m in Texas…Houston and I am not seeing this. Business as usual 😌
Hey, if y’all really live in Texas, get the word out about CNN bullshitting us. Seriously. Because they are trying to use this “increase in cases” to scare us all, and justify some more bullshit. So-PLEASE, speak up and get the word out to as big of an audience as you can!
@wilb6657 Sigh. You dummies are doomed.
I live in Houston and nobody is sick.
@Kensi Blonde You’re doomed like that pos George Floyd, who now rots with Bush Sr. Bin Laden and John McStain.
Maybe it’s time that the left put a halt to their protest so they won’t spread covid 19
California resident: Surprisingly, everyone is wearing a mask here 😷
Not this California resident.
Daniel Quaternik,
Good! This is a plot for control!
Not in Florida or Georgia or Iowa or Missouri
@oO0 Aegis 0Oo Hmm… seems like that was the claim right wingers were making two months ago during the lockdowns. Funny how everything opened up just fine after that without the government taking over. That would seem to completely debunk your bullshit paranoia, you schizo nut. But what did happen after all the right wing man babies got their way is that the virus went crazy in all the red states that opened up.
Why did the media take a three week break from reporting on the virus
Because racism
Blm protesters are immune while lockdown protesters are at great risk
They didn’t. They did cover breaking news more than persistent news for a couple weeks. That how news works. Any other dumb AF questions?
Why did the red states take a two month break from acknowledging the existence of the virus?
It’s all politics to give Joe a boost ! Nobody really believes this stats.
