I hope everyone has gone into their phone settings and turned off location settings and under the health tab, turned off covid tracing. Now we know why King Greg awarded that huge contract for contact tracing- to inflate the
"case" numbers and keep people fearful and compliant.

Austin Mayor Considering Shutting Down City Again
After city officials’ last shutdown forced at least 132,000 Austinites out of work and into a potential new crisis, the mayor is considering doing it again.

Local officials could soon force working Austinites into another crisis.

Austin Mayor Steve Adler is considering decreeing another citywide shutdown similar to the ones in March and April, when “nonessential” businesses were forced to close and citizens were ordered to stay home, among other restrictions. Adler’s past orders forced at least 132,000 Austinites out of work and into a potential new crisis of struggling to afford food and a place to live for their families.

In a Facebook Live broadcast this week, Adler said if the community doesn’t change their behaviors—to do things such as social distancing, avoiding large gatherings, and wearing masks—he could likely enact a new stay-at-home order.

“If we don’t change behaviors, then [shutting down] is something the city’s going to have to seriously consider doing,” he said.

Additionally, Travis County Interim Public Health Authority Dr. Mark Escott said this week that the county is “at the verge of having that recommendation come from me to the mayor and [Travis County] Judge Biscoe that we close things down again.”

Ironically, though Adler admonished citizens to social distance and avoid large gatherings, he was photographed by local news in the middle of a sprawling crowd at a recent anti-police protest downtown. The mayor was surrounded by a mass of thousands of people.

Meanwhile, the officials’ reasoning for the potential re-shutdown? A recent local and statewide spike in confirmed coronavirus cases, which local officials have blamed on the gradual reopening of Texas.

However, new data suggests a drastically different understanding of the virus.

Since March, Adler and local officials have used faulty and wildly inaccurate projections to justify enacting livelihood-killing shutdowns on Austinites. Adler even used data from a University of Texas report that had 70 to 100 percent uncertainty.

Meanwhile, the current reality of how coronavirus has affected the local area: 124 out of 1.27 million Travis County citizens have tragically died from a coronavirus-related illness.

Across the state, there are 2,424 coronavirus-related deaths. This flu season, 6,737 Texans died from influenza and pneumonia.

Nationally, 2.7 million Americans have confirmed coronavirus cases. According to the CDC, as many as 56 million Americans had the flu this season.
