Well, Governor Abbott has apparently coughed on Senator John Cornyn.

Bless Cornyn’s pitiful heart, he’s now blaming Democrats for the rise of Covid 19. He has now tweeted that State Representative Gene Wu of Houston should “quit trying to scare people” because Wu explained the hospital situation in Texas.

Cornyn’s tweet was in response to Houston state Rep. Gene Wu, a Houston Democrat, who tweeted a link to a news story about the Texas Medical Center reporting 97 percent of its intensive care beds in use with the comment: “We’re at the edge of the cliff. After these next few days, we will not have enough beds to care for all of the incoming #COVID19 patients. Then people die.”

Cornyn said that most of the cases in the ICU were not because of the virus and that those that are will probably recover.

Cornyn never was very good at math. (However, he must have gotten a medical degree when we weren’t looking.)  A filled bed is a filled bed. If I have Covid19, I’ll need a bed, no matter how many car wrecks or heart attacks happened the night before. If that bed is not there, that’s a problem.

There’s a difference between scaring people and informing people.
