Austin Is In Stage 4 COVID Lockdown

Mark Escott has decided to move Austin into Stage 4 of the COVID scare panel. Mayor Adler and Fake Doctor Escott used to base our COVID lockdown stage off of COVID cases, but they couldn’t wait for it to move into Stage 4 on its own.

So what did they do?

They just jumped us ahead. They just completely moved the goal posts -- AGAIN.  They did this buy moving the Stage 4 lockdown requirement down with no notice. You can see this below. They've moved the goal posts on Austinites multiple time throughout the pandemic.

After Escott did this, he removed the COVID lockdown graph from the Austin COVID dashboard. See pictures below from Mayor Adler's "Got A Minute" on Youtube. These graphs were removed from the Austin COVID dashboard.

If you look at November 18, 2020 in Mayor Adler’s youtube channel, you can see we weren’t in stage 4. When you go to the November 19, 2020 "Got A Minute," all of a sudden the chart is completely adjusted and squeezed.

Now we are in stage 4 because King Adler says so!!!!

Not only are you suckers in Stage 4. You also don't get to see when where we are at in COVID staging anymore. This means we can be at Stage 5 at any given moment in Mayor Adler's KINGDOM. You peasants aren't following the rules!!! Why can't you just listen to King Adler's simple demands??? Boy are you in for some punishment now. 

You should be glad you are in Stage 4. You have no idea what King Adler has planned for Stage 5, so you better start obeying our KING's arbitrary rules.

Mayor Adler said that him and Escott decided to do this to make Austinites more disciplined. More disciplined??? Why do they think that they can control behavior. Why didn’t that use the hundreds of millions of dollars they got from the CARES Act to prepare for the winter? Now they are putting us in stage 4 because they sent healthcare workers to El Paso and are concerned about a shortage of hospital staffing. We could not have a more incompetent mayor or public health official.

I guess Mark Escott and Mayor Adler were getting jealous of other cities like Los Angeles and New York city. Mayor Adler can’t wait to implement the Great Reset in Austin. They want to destroy small businesses and keep us in permanent lockdowns.

I will admit that hospital admissions are concerning, but I’m not sure a lockdown will cure it. Governor Abbott has said that he will not lockdown Texas again, but we will see if he keeps his word. The western part of Texas is a disaster because of El Paso, even though El Paso is democratic and has mask mandates. I’m sure Abbott will see this then get scared and shut Texas down again.

I don’t think Mayor Adler cares about disobeying Abbott either since he has so many strategists telling him what to do. They probably advised him on the legal path for consistently disobeying your Governor.

Austin has also started bringing patients from El Paso even though El Paso is an 8 hour drive from Austin. I’m sure Mayor Adler is hoping some of those patients will bring COVID with them, so he can continue his fear mongering campaign.

What Does Stage 4 Mean For Austin's Residents?

What does this mean for Austinites? Most people think Escott and Adler have no power because of what Governor Abbott has done, but you would be wrong. Why? Because Mayor Adler thinks he is King of Austin. He states multiple times that he is not afraid of going against Abbott in his Got A Minute videos. Adler wants to enforce stiffer penalties and fines for people that don’t meet his random requirements.

The city can already issue fines of $500 up to $2000 for people not wearing masks. The city can also issue fines for not enforcing social distancing standards starting at $500. They are looking into other penalties that they can levy on businesses as well. They are looking to target small business owners in town.

He wants restaurants to be at less than 50%. Restaurants and bars can anticipate the worst punishment. Mayor Adler will be focusing on all the bars on sixth street and try to shut down anything they are currently doing. He has been complaining about them for the past month. He complains about bars using the restaurant loophole incessantly because Abbott created it.

If you are a bar or restaurant, you can expect to be strictly watched and fined if you have any grouping of people in your establishment.

What can you do?

Don’t listen to these clowns. We can protest city workers and keep them from enforcing fines from King Adler. These businesses are already struggling. They don't need a $2,000 fine on top of it.

We must organize and fight back against these moving goalposts and ridiculous penalties. Follow us on twitter and let us know if you need help in fighting back.
