Yes, the Trump Virus is still raging out of control, and the Trump Death Toll is climbing -- but with the Biden vaccination plan was are somewhat close to working our way out of the colossal mess Trump created. Still, GOP politicians across the country are doing what they can to undermine our success -- and just yesterday the Governor of Texas announced that he would rescind the mask mandate, and he re-opened the state 100%.
@stevenbeschloss said on Twitter, "Texas Gov. Abbott’s decision to end the mask mandate and open everything is a reminder of how he and many leaders don’t need Trump to showcase selfishness and indifference toward a rising death count."
@SawyerHackett said, "There was a 300% surge in hospitalizations after Gov. Abbott prematurely reopened Texas in May—and we kept the mask mandate! We were at 5,000 new cases a day then. Now we’re at 7,500 cases per day, and he’s reopening businesses at 100% capacity and rescinding the mask mandate."
The decision also called to mind Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "The Opening of the Closed," below on the left. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "The Opening and the Close," below on the right.
| By Emmett Lee Dickinson: The Opening of the Closed Up Texas, is a bit Or somewhat, premature, As Raw just off the Spit. That from an equal Flame Beneath an equal Beef Goes not so well, affected If on the grill too brief. | By Emily Dickinson: The Opening and the Close Of Being, are alike Or differ, if they do, As Bloom upon a Stalk. That from an equal Seed Unto an equal Bud Go parallel, perfected In that they have decayed. |
