Pence on virus: 'About two weeks ago something changed'

With a continuing surge in Coronavirus cases hitting the south and southwest, Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday vowed federal help for states seeing an increase in cases, as Pence also urged Americans to wear a mask if local leaders have advised that step. 'About two weeks ago, something changed,' Pence said during a news conference with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who last week ended efforts to relax Coronavirus restrictions, shutting down bars immediately in a bid to stop the spree of new cases. 'We need to understand that COVID-19 has taken a very swift and very dangerous turn in Texas over just the past few weeks,' the Governor said. Texas reported 5,357 new cases of the virus on Sunday, marking the sixth consecutive day of more than 5,000 daily new cases. 'This is a moment where we have we have to put our arms around and protect the most vulnerable among us,' the Vice President said of the virus outbreak. It was a marked change for both Pence and Abbott, who had trumpeted progress made by Texas and other states in re-opening. 'You flattened the curve here in Texas,' Pence said, but that has changed as new cases have gone from a 7-day average of 1,273 on June 1 to a 7-day average of nearly 5,800 cases a day by this weekend. Pence arrived with a notable change, as he wore a mask by descending the steps of Air Force Two, and then kept it on through his day in Texas. 'Wearing a mask is just a good idea,' said the Vice President, who on Friday had not joined in wearing a mask during a news conference with federal health experts in Washington, D.C. 'Wear a mask, wherever it's indicated,' Pence added. On his visit in Texas, Pence went to a large indoor church service - where some people were wearing a mask - but not members of a large church choir, who sang during the services. Earlier this year, the Centers for Disease Control detailed how a church choir practice had become a superspreading event for the Coronavirus, as a 2.5 hour practice attended by 61 people resulted in two virus deaths. But when the CDC issued guidelines for church choirs, a CDC warning about church choirs was removed.

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
