Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, on Tuesday called upon Houston-area businesses not to comply with coronavirus lockdown guidance, which he argued had no basis in the U.S. Constitution.
The fierce words came in response to the Department of State Health Services recommendation for Houston bars to close, while restaurants and other businesses should reduce occupancy because COVID-19 patients have occupied 15% of available beds for seven consecutive days.
Crenshaw said that businesses should absolutely not comply with these lockdown measures. Lockdowns are not supported by law, they are unconstitutional edicts, Crenshaw tweeted. Law enforcement should not enforce this. Stop stealing people’s right to make a living.
APH says it is short on COVID-19 vaccine doses, updates on rollout
AUSTIN, Texas - Austin Public Health Director Stephanie Hayden said there just isn t enough of the COVID-19 vaccine to go around. We have a shortage of vaccine. We don t have vaccine available that we can provide widely in our community, she said at a briefing at the Travis County Commissioners Court Tuesday.
The state allocated 700,000 initial doses, and Hayden says 42,000 doses went to Travis County, but only 1,300 to Austin Public Health so far. She said they only have been able to concentrate on the Phase 1A group, healthcare workers. However, some providers in the county have already begun offering the vaccine to those who fall under Phase 1B.
