Re: May 13 articles, “Texas coronavirus cases top 1,000 for 5th day” and “Fauci warns more death, econ damage if US reopens too fast.”
At a time when “Texas coronavirus cases top 1,000 for 5th day,” our GOP leaders urge reopening businesses, ignoring the explicit advice of science leaders like Dr. Anthony Fauci.
On the same newspaper page, this top infectious disease expert warns of more COVID-19 deaths and economic damage if openings happen too soon. Thank goodness for Austin Mayor Steve Adler and Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt. I thank and appreciate them for their courage in standing up to pressure for actions that could only increase our death toll and extend the crisis we are now experiencing.
Please stay the course. In this case, science trumps Trump!

Note from KBJ: When did we elect Dr Fauci, Susan? His role is to answer President Trump's questions. President Trump's role is to make policy.
