17 Pictures That Show Just How Well "Social Distancing" Has Been Working In Texas
It's not going great, y'all.
1. Texas — my beloved home state — we need to talk...
cdc: we recommend not going in crowds larger than 10 people everyone in texas:
2. ...because I know that March is a time for spring break. For festivals! For FUN. But y'all, the coronavirus is no joke.
It wasn't just Florida evidently South Padre Island kept the party going 🙄
3. Texans, if you don't already know, the CDC says the virus is spread between people who are in close contact with one another.
@KXAN_News Good luck with that this was taken yesterday at Zilker park and there were way more people than the 20 or so playing soccer and what about construction sites???

They're not saying you can't take walks around your own neighborhood. For your safety and to prevent spreading of the virus, practice social distancing!!!!!
5. *DEEP INHALE* JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T THINK YOU'RE A CARRIER OF THIS VIRUS DOESN'T MEAN YOU AREN'T!!!!! Symptoms don't show right away.
@GovAbbott They’ll be having more patients with this going on. Port A
You can carry the coronovirus with no symptoms for 2–14 days after exposure!!!!!!!!!! Just because you're young and healthy doesn't mean you can't get very sick.

About to risk it all for some eggs... #nosocialdistancing #heb
