Abbott is in way over his head, he has not a clue of what to do as case numbers continue grow. He is walking a fine like between pleasing his neocon base and the health of the public. He needs to stop thinking about his reelection and do what is right for the state and its citizens health. Both he and Dan Patrick should resign if they can't take the advise of of medical experts.
