Three years ago, on March 22, 2020, Dallas County Judge Clay Lewis Jenkins made an announcement that would take the COVID-19 pandemic from the front pages into North Texas homes.
including “A Million Could Lose Jobs as Texas Eateries’ Tables Go Empty,” and “Sick Texans Waiting on Tests.” A couple of days before, theabout a Dallas police officer who had tested positive for the coronavirus, something that felt life or death at the time, because for many, such a diagnosis in those days was life-threatening.During his press conference remarks, Lewis Jenkins discussed the importance of “flattening the curve.
The judge says that since the start of the pandemic he could have tweeted a “a picture of a puppy or something, and I’ll get 20 or 30 responses that say ‘If that’s your puppy, I hope it dies.’” “That [bipartisan collaboration] was really lacking early on,” he says. “And I think that started with the president. Early on I was told by friends at the CDC that they couldn't talk to me about certain things, like what their research said about keeping people safe, but we were able to work around that. But early on that was a challenge, and things kept getting more political.”
The working hours of the day and night would offer plenty of time to get into the arguments, decisions and developments of the pandemic. Having the final say on if and when a county of more than 2.5 million people would go under a shelter-in-place order is something Lewis Jenkins wanted supreme coherence for.
