preview

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick lashed out at Dr. Anthony Fauci on Fox News, saying the nation’s top infectious disease expert has “been wrong every time on every issue.”“He doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Patrick said . “The only thing I’m skipping over is listening to him.”Patrick was upset after hearing Fauci testify at a U.S. Senate hearing in which he said that more than.Fauci didn’t directly criticize Texas’s reopening but said state officials may have been “going too quickly and skipping over some of the checkpoints” as they lifted stay-home orders.As COVID cases surge, TX Lt Gov Dan Patrick says he will no longer listen to Anthony Fauci: "I don't need his advice anymore" — Jason Campbell (@JasonSCampbell)Patrick said he doesn’t need Fauci’s advice, declaring, “We haven’t skipped over anything.”Watch the latest video atPatrick’s remarks came on a day Texas reported 7,700 new infections of COVID-19, according to a Hearst Newspapers data analysis, and over 6,500 total hospitalizations from the disease — both record highs.GOV. ABBOTT’S TUESDAY ORDER:“We had a record high today in cases,” Patrick said. “We had a record high in hospitalizations, but in our deaths over the last three days, we’ve had 58 deaths. Every life is important but that’s less than 20 a day.”While Patrick leveled his criticism at Fauci, other epidemiologists and disease experts have also raised alarms about the accelerating outbreaks in Texas, Arizona and Florida.“It is fair to say that the state of Arizona has lost control of the epidemic,” said a blog entry posted last week by the PolicyLab at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “So too has Texas, where the Houston area surpassed 1,600 daily cases, and their children’s hospital began admitting adult patients.”In his Fox appearance, Patrick said he supported Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision last week to shut down bars, despite the show’s host, Laura Ingraham, telling him she’s heard from people who are concerned it's going to “kill them off.”“Laura, we stepped back on the bars which I think was the right decision,” Patrick said. “That was a smart move.”’Patrick closed the interview saying the worst thing the state can do is issue another stay-home order.Patrick has used his recent appearances on Fox News to counter reports that Texas is quickly running out of ICU beds. He has accused the media of overstating the severity of that issue, and pointed out that only about one-quarter of the state’s total ICU beds are occupied with COVID-19 patients.“We are not out of ICU beds in Texas,” .
