LIVE: Governor Abbott signs law providing almost $2 billion for border security
Governor Abbott: We've seen for more than 4 weeks now, a decline in hospitalizations, and we've seen, going back to at least July 23, a reduction in the positivity rate in the state of Texas….we've already seen the worst of the delta variant.
Governor Abbott: I've created a child sex trafficking team in the office of the governor, that is the national gold standard for dealing with these types of crimes which, once again, too often leads to sexual assault.
He said it in a press conference that just ended. You can back up the stream.
Local news in West Virginia just said:
"More people are getting the more infectious and deadly delta variant."
An outrageous lie. It is absolutely not more deadly, and the last I read, they can't easily test for it. I'm not even convinced it exists. This particular news broadcast starts every night with an over the top attempt to scare the public, specifically into getting vaccinated.
