The governors of Texas, Florida and Georgia, where COVID-19 is raging, pushed back hard on Tuesday against local leaders who want to impose tighter restrictions to control the runaway spread of the coronavirus in their areas.
On average last week, 19 per cent of COVID-19 tests came back positive, indicating widespread community transmission in Florida. In Hidalgo County, where local officials are clashing with the Texas governor over orders for residents to stay home, coronavirus cases have risen 59 per cent in the last week to nearly 13,000 total cases. In just one week, deaths have doubled to over 300, according to a Reuters tally.
Florida and Georgia had record hospitalizations on Monday and Texas reported a record of more than 10,600 hospitalized coronavirus patients on Saturday.
Only the poor ordinary people will suffer from this stupid government conflict
Always good to be behind the curve.
The crisis in the United States has gotten too political. They NEED leadership right now to make some tough decisions
