The Data Doesn’t Warrant a Five Month Shutdown 

Austin, TX, Release: August 13, 2020. For Immediate Release 

 

It has been over 150 days since we first started the “15 days to flatten the
curve” operation. After reviewing the data below, it is concerning that across
Texas and the nation American’s have surrendered their liberties and allowed
mass economic contractions to occur. 

 

“Considering these data points it is shocking to see how our nation has
abandoned its constitutional rights and economic prosperity. Only 3% of ER
visits are for COVID symptoms, less than 2% of active COVID cases are
hospitalized, 94% of COVID deaths are associated with having one more serious
medical condition, and 75% of COVID associated deaths in Texas occur with
people who are 65 years or older. Why are we allowing the media and leftists to
fear monger and drive us into an economic depression to advance their political
agenda? As Texans, Republicans, and Americans we must stand up and reassert
authority over our own rights and responsibilities.  Whether it is the right to
run a business or the responsibility to maintain our own personal safety,”
stated Chairman Allen West. 

 

Letting Democrats and their accomplices in the national press drive the
narrative only guarantees that our rights and duties will continue to be
eroded, and that leftist political goals will be accomplished.
