Republican Governors Around the Country Are Failing as Badly as the President* Did

One million people in Texas have contracted COVID-19. One. Million. People.

They are running out of hospital beds. They are running out of room in their morgues. They are running out of room in the refrigeration trucks. They are shipping bodies around the state because the funeral homes are swamped. And, in El Paso, with all this, a group of restaurateurs is suing a local judge for "exceeding his authority" in ordering a county-wide shutdown. The attorney general of the state of Texas has joined that lawsuit. From the El Paso Times:

[County Judge Ricardo] Samaniego on Oct. 29 ordered nonessential businesses, including restaurant dining rooms, to shutdown for two weeks starting midnight Oct. 30 through Nov. 11. Those businesses include:

Tattoo parlors; Hair salons; Nail salons; Gyms; Massage businesses; In-person dining

Businesses deemed essential that can remain open include:

Grocery stores; Retail-to-go services; Funeral services; Healthcare offices and facilities; Pharmacies; Government operations; Schools providing meal services; Childcare centers
