One of Abbott's outspoken critics is Sugarland, Texas-based cardiologist David Portugal, a member of the group Committee to Protect

Health Care. Portugal is urging Abbott to reverse his executive order forbidding public schools from having mask mandates.

Portugal told Texas Public Radio, "Gov. Abbott has failed us. A Republican state legislature has failed us. These leaders should be held accountable and be asked to explain how they can justify taking actions that are killing their fellow Texans."

Dr. Elena Jimenez-Gutierrez, who practices internal medicine in San Antonio, is warning that hospitals are being overwhelmed by COVID-19 in Texas.

Jimenez-Gutierrez told Texas Public Radio, "Hospital staff and resources are stretched to the breaking point…. Doctors and other health care workers see every day how too many Texans are needlessly getting sick, including many children when we know this disease can be prevented."

San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, who has no party affiliation, fears that the crisis in Texas hospitals is only going to get worse in the weeks and months ahead.

1. How do local news stations in Texas cover this story.

Just wondering if its reported in an unbiased way. Or if they're blaming Biden for the Covid deaths.
