URGENT: @GovAbbott you need to start airlifting patients to El Paso, Houston & Dallas now.
You need to put in place stay at home orders until mid-August.
@fema must provide planes to start airlifting people.
Please make sure this is seen. Will start making calls in the AM.

This is a tough situation, being described as “our backs up against the wall.” These patients should all be seen in bigger hospitals— not local or field hospitals.
It’s 1:10 am & I’m trying to wake people up.
I wrote about this last night.

Morning update: have spoken or texted with the White House, a governor’s advisor, an infectious disease team on the ground, and have messages into hospitals.
People are talking and I’m hopeful that means action.

I was asked if the people dying in the Rio Grande Valley have “come across the border.”
I was also told that local officials who don’t like Gov Abbott may be lying about the gravity of the situation.
I worry that those 2 statements are influencing actions to help people.

I’ve talked to several neighboring states. They are willing to help.
Offering & accepting help is the best of our country.

The state lays this on local health authorities. To be frank, I’m finding the story shifting.
I don’t think this is the most important metric. Keep pushing on the mask mandate & help the RGV and other trouble spots and your businesses will soon thrive as the death rate drops.
