    What was your number?
    I'm disappointed with my test results:
    N-Test: negative
    S-Test: negative

    According to the FAQ link below, I understand the negative results mean that I have not been exposed to the covid. I guess that's why I didn't get a "number."?

    I sincerely thought that I had a bout with the virus early 2020 and therefore had some natural immunity.

    According to my test, you require a number greater than 1 to have antibodies.

    It doesn't sound as though you were infected before.

    If we had a strong Governor or good sized majority in the House and Senate, TEXIT could work.
    But would we be trading a federal set of assholes for a new Texas federal bunch of assholes?
    When the antis leave the country to stop legislation they must forfeit their Texan status

    I couldn't see adding an additional layer to the bureaucracy. The elected body as is - with some changes of who holds the seats, would be plenty fine. Agreed, we need a stronger leader than Abbott, and we need different leadership in the current legislature.

    yup. the last I heard, you won't be able to fly without a vaccine, unless you are flying private
    Wrong, at least for now. If you’re not a US citizen and want to enter, legally, you have to have the shot. England/ UK, just cancelled their vaccine “passport” plan as unworkable.

    Survey sign-up closes 9/17...

    Just did the survey and signed up... Should be able to get to a test location next Monday or Tuesday.

    Thanks for the heads up!
    I got my results today, just one day after giving up some blood.
    Signed up for Texas Cares Antibody Survey on Sep 14th, was tested Tues Sept 21st, received results today...

    Texas CARES: Your COVID-19 antibody test results from Texas CARES are:

    N-Test: NEGATIVE

    S-Test: NEGATIVE

    Tests were for natural immunity and vaccine immunity.

    I really thought I might have had a mild case when it swept through my community mid-August, but apparently not.

    Other than that having been infected and having natural immunity might foretell the severity of future reinfections, I'm inclined that not having been infected is the best result.

    I'd say I've been fairly careful, but have had plenty of opportunities to be infected... Maybe all my supplements have warded it off...

    I find it interesting that people are so quick to jump on the secession bandwagon without stopping to think about how we got here in the first place.

    America's main problem is apathy. Ok, so we secede... THEN what? I'll TELL you what. Then the republic of Texas becomes like the old united states, the same exact way, and FAST. WHY? Because "we the people" don't actually do anything that leads to any real change.

    What am I going on about? I'm talking about doing exactly what the constitution gives us power to do, when the government goes rogue and becomes tyrannical. That's right, ABOLISH IT. If we don't have the balls to do that, we will secede from the union, and when the government in the nation of Texas goes rogue, we will vote and protest our little hearts out, until we realize that voting and protesting doesn't work. THEN, we will go down the same path of secession and cities will desperately try to secede from the new country that is Texas.

    Look fellas, I hate to say it, but if we won't unite and abolish a tyrannical government in this great nation, secession will accomplish NOTHING. Otherwise, I DO support secession if it were our last option.

    God help America, and God bless Texas.

    Well, with an attitude like that, you'll certainly not lead the change, just like gun owners who never train, especially with others, will be mostly useless if there's a real fight, unlike the minutemen of 1776 who sacrificed their time and treasure to become ready to defend their homes. The change has to start with every single one of us... and if you are dis-satisfied with the current condition of the country, but refuse to toil for it's future, you are part of the apathy. Most people here have SOME gear. Need to start working on how to use it effectively, and not be shy about doing that.

    Texas isn’t going to secede either, no matter what some pipe dreamers want.

    So, when the United States goes full on communist.... we just gonna bow down and kiss the dictator's arse???



    You can still draw SS living anywhere in the world. Medical coverage probably not.

    Not if Texas left the union! The first thing the fed would do is cut off your money which is why it's best to bank only with a small or regional banks chartered here in Texas

    Texas would need international allies, and we'd have to be carreful not to allow too much outside influence. Texas could represent hope for freedom for the entire world... but, I'm, not sure there are enough men among us with a big enough pair to do it, do you!

    The fed would quickly mandate that anybody living in Texas is cut off from any and all benefits provided by the fed.

    So, it kinda sounds like many in Texas would rather stay in the union and suffer under communism when it goes mlive just because of the money.

    Jim Bowie, William B. Travis, Daniel Boone, and Sam Houston are turning over in their gaves!

    The goal of the entire political gang is one world government and allowing one state to pull out of the US before their goal is met just simply will not happen. If Texas decides it will not take no for an answer, expect a conflict to break out and another civil war will be born. Any attempt made will likely be theater just like everything else.

    It's not gonna happen. Fight the commies from your front yard like the rest of us. Staying in the Union will not be a choice this State will have. The Federal government will make Texas stay in the Union. Its just a frucking fact. Wake up. Arm yourself, and spend your money where it will help our politicians change this mess. Welcome to America. I dearly wish Texas could secede. We're waayyyy past that hope, Brother.
