I see patients that are going back and forth to Mexico for funerals etc. I lived in the valley for a few months and saw people dripping wet from swimming the rio. Half the population is probably illegal and 90% primarily speak Spanish.

Here is the take of a brave Houston Dr. who has treated 350 covid patients without a single death and all patients improved:

Incredible.
The site eliminates non-conforming views on a continual basis. Try posting a thread about Trump's incompetence with the COVID crisis and see how many minutes it lasts.
As I read your post "about Trump's incompetence with the COVID crisis," more than one day has passed. That's more than 1,440 minutes.

Well folks, the removal of these videos is self-evidence of the vicious repression of alternative views (i.e. the truth) about covid and the systemic hoax it has clearly become. Disgusting censorship by socialist media.
It's up again, watch NOW before it gets quashed again.

In Texas’s Rio Grande Valley on the Mexico border, where almost every hospital stands overwhelmed with Covid patients, Dr. Ivonne Lopez, Medical Director of the McAllen Hospital Group at McAllen Medical Center told local media that “many” patients had come from Mexico.
“They are coming in because their resources over there are also limited so they are coming in to our area seeking medical attention and by law we have to provide it,” Dr. Lopez said. “The patients that cross the border say ‘we don’t have hospital space over there. The oxygen is gone. We don’t have medications, so we cross the border.’”

Funny how the explanations for the recent surge in US cases never mention
riots/protests or movement back and forth over the border when those are
almost certainly the main drivers.
The surge in Texas started prior to the protests. I dont doubt that the protests likely played some role in the numbers that we are seeing now, but if you look at the curve, it was well on the way up prior to that, and there is no clear bump after the protests. So while I'm sure people have caught it at the protests, it isnt enough of a factor to be visible on any graph.
People moving over borders isnt a large factor on the statewide level. There are counties overwhelmed well away from the border. There are counties being overwhelmed in completely different states.
Mexico's numbers are actually somewhat better than the US, certainly better than Texas (or california, for that matter). This is a problem of our own making.
We are the worst of all the developed nations in cases, death rates. It's quite simple, it is because people ignored basic precautions. Yes, some of that was people protesting without taking any care about covid. The bulk of it was people partying, working in defiance of shutdown, refusing to wear a mask, etc.

That's too bad - it sounds like it's a very interesting video to watch. However, it's not surprising considering that the CEO of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, endorsed Clinton in 2016. Also, YouTube is owned by Google which is a Democrat party front:
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/09/its-official-google-is-a-democratic-party-front.phpIt's a hopeless cause as the Democrats are in the 4th quarter now increasing the fearmongering & hype beyond belief in an effort to hurt Trump in the reelection bid. Texas, traditionally a Red state, is one that they would like to get for "Sleepy Joe," hence the increased fearmongering reports about the Texas hospitals from CNN. And now the paid Democratic trolls are coming out in full force whining about the pro-Trump posts and all that.
Pathetic and a sad state of affairs to block an important video like that.
That these videos are being pulled down by Twitter, FB and youtube is laughable. Why are they so scared?

TDS-Trump Derangement Syndrome. They would rather that tens of thousands die than any chance that this fear-mongering would lose it's bite. Just look at the fear-mongering trolls that pop up on this site like Whack-A Moles trying to breathe life into the panic and yelling "WEAR THE MASK, GET TESTED, STAY HOME (unless you are rioting and protesting against the police/Trump) AND SHUT UP".
We are at war, unfortunately. A global, civil and cultural war. And as the old quote says, the first casualty in war is the truth. This war that has been decades in the offing, and driven by corporate and governmental forces who want to see true liberty and democracy fail so that they can have a chokehold on resources and power indefinitely. Right here in this thread is the bald-faced evidence.

Uh.....No, that is not it. Portland, Seattle and New York are not having widespread outbreaks for the last 6 weeks. Idiots in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Florida don't wear masks, don't social distance, don't wash their hands, along with all the businesses still being open. Idiots. This has nothing to do with a riot.

Dems/leftists see the powerful and eloquent voice of an African-American woman (Dr. Emmanuel) and a true humanitarian with facts and experience with covid treatment in the field on her side, and are sh!t-scared. She is the worst thing that could happen to their Fauci-pharma-sockpuppet narrative. This disease is very preventable and treatable with the medicines we have right now, but which are being suppressed in the U.S. to drive the agenda for global vaccination.

I always thought the people who were pushing hydroxychoroquine sounded like the Nigerian con men who send old ladies emails asking for help to cash a check for a Nigerian prince. Well, the right wingers are doubling down and now have an actual Nigerian doctor pushing hydroxy. Of course, she is put front and center in a blatant attempt to shield her from attack because she is African American. But if she is the best medical authority right wingers can come up with, it speaks volumes about how dangerous right wing quackery has become.
Dr. Emmanuel is a local Houston pediatrician with no expertise in infectious diseases. She believes that gynecological problems like endometriosis are caused by having sex with witches and demons in people's dreams. She claims that doctors are using DNA from space aliens to treat people. And that vaccines are an attempt to genetically program people to stop being religious.

Texas changed how they count fatalities. They were using reports from local health authorities, but switched to death certificates. That resulted in reporting a backlog of about 700 deaths over the weekend. Moving forward, reporting on deaths will not be in real time, but will be adjusted as results come in (death certificates must be filed within 10 days per Tex statute). So, you will not see the real fatality statistics for 10 days. It is kind of like what GA did on confirmed cases. On the one hand, this does take reporting out of the hands of local and regional health officials who are not able to keep up with reporting and often dump data on certain days of the week. But this will also keep people from knowing what is really happening just as everyone is fighting over whether to start in person school or only have online classes.

The situation is headed in the right direction since Abbott (governor) went back on his mask thing and mandated it. I'm from Dallas and there has been stupid partisan battle between the county Judge (Jenkins) and Abbott that makes them both look like complete idiots:
Back in April/May
Abbott wanted things to open to 25% (which was fine as hospitals were actually not having enough hours for doctors and nurses). But Abbott said that he's order superseded local government (meaning businesses could allow people without masks in.
Jenkins made a stink saying that local government should have authority over state (which is true) and we should take "the scientific approach"
in June
Abbott Finally admitted the authority does go to local government and that bars/clubs should close by noon each day
Jenkins allows bars/clubs to stay open to normal hours (takes the bait from Abbott)
Cases spike in DFW (mostly in Dallas were Jenkins is) (probably a combination of more activity due to protests and people who think its a hoax not really bars/clubs).
July:
Abbot mandates masks (basically admitting he was wrong again without admitting it or apologizing)
Later in July Jenkins says Bars/clubs should close (showing he really didn't care about "scientific approach" he once quoted)
All that being said when you look at the numbers Texas is fairing quite well in the United States for a state holding 3 of the largest metros in the country and 4ish other fairly large cities.
Issues: The hospitals/ICU beds per capita in Texas isn't great meaning we can max out our system with not that many cases.. (I think we should start using ambulances to spread the patients to rural hospitals since there are a ton of those and except for Amarillo (really a medium city for most states) aren't doing so bad) but no one has really talked about that. This really highlights to issue with our healthcare system
Basically Texas is the Cowboys and the tristate area is the NY Jetts and NYC is the Cleveland browns... Currently the death rate per capita in NYC is over 16x that of Texas and the tristate area alone is over 10x the death rate per capita (with only 2x the number of positive cases)
These numbers are from July 19th* (since then cases in Texas have started to decrease death continue to stay high and should for about 10 more days)
So when people crap on Texas it's pretty dumb because it would literally take Texas multiple years at our peak death rate to catch up with the deaths that the tri state area has already seen (very similar population ~31 mil to ~29 mil)
Oh BTW also Texas still hasn't reached half of the covid deaths than in the 2017-2018 Flu season (9500+) in about the same amount of time (5 months) (before you roast me, I know there were a lot of external factors like shut downs school closings that helped Texas keep our death numbers low) also underscores the fact that "just the flu" is stupid because it really does kill a lot of people even with a vaccine that lots of Texans refuse to get :'(
