Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

One of my good friends, his mom quarantined for 10 months, and then she spiked a fever and had to go on because she had cancer and an infection etc. Caught covid and died. He just had a baby, she's a year old, no time with grandma, grandma didn't get to enjoy the baby either, just ... gone. Because of exactly this. It's infuriating. The sheer cruel fucking selfishness of it.

That's the thing that's most frustrating to me, too. If people don't want to get vaccinated, fuck 'em. There are still people that can't get it and we have to protect them. The downstream effects of hospitals filling back up and procedures for other people getting delayed pisses me off so much.
 
Just heard a report on the news this morning that at least 80 students in Reno Nevada have tested positive for COVID-19. This comes after parents sent their child to school on the first day of classes after both the parents and the child tested positive for COVIED-19 just two days earlier.
 
It took two days of being in school for my girlfriend's niece to have to quarantine because of an exposure. Two damn days. She did virtual learning all last year cause they made it an option. This year they've been so committed to throwing everything out the window that they refused to let kids do it again. They didn't even mandate masks until the night before classes started (and they added in a parent opt-out option, which basically defeats the purpose).
 
This whole anti-masks at school is just crazy. We all want our kids in school...why is wearing a mask this big of a deal. School board members getting screamed at board meetings, getting death threats????

We all know the Delta variant is bad - and this is just going to get worse. If we don't control the spread this will mutate again and again. There will eventually be a variant that isn't covered by any of the vaccines.

For now, though we know that kids CAN get Covid - and are getting sicker with this current variant.

It's either they wear a mask or we won't have in-school school....it's not rocket science, just science.
 
Texas ABC is threatening to pull liquor licenses from bars and restaurants (and venues) if they require guests to be vaccinated or have a negative test. so far has happened at places that make a bulk or all of their income from bar sales, leaving a struggling industry further in the lurch.

good 'ol small government strikes again in Tejas :rolleyes:

I am currently isolating and I have a test scheduled.
I have had wicked allergies since late Tuesday night... but was just informed I was around someone (outdoors but for extended hours) who then tested positive. fingers crossed I'm not and can still pick my sister up from the airport when she lands, but if I do have a breakthrough case, I'm thankful as fuck I am vaccinated- I always have summer allergies, and this has just felt like that with a big increase in sinus pressure.

I'm hearing this will effect Live Nation venues who allow artists to determine whether or now they require vaccinations to attend shows. If the venue allows for an artist to require a vaccination they could lose their liquor license.

The Texas Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney Gen. Ken Paxton, temporarily banning mask mandates in Bexar and Dallas counties.

This means the mask mandate issued for public schools by Bexar County leaders last week is no longer in effect, at least for now.

The ruling came down Sunday afternoon, days after the Fourth Court of Appeals sided against the governor and Attorney General Ken Paxton’s efforts on Friday.

The only governor arguably less awful than DeSantis tested positive for Covid today. But it's fine because he's vaccinated and is getting the new drug pushed by the right.

Oh and he went to this event last night in Plano.

This is the same guy fighting my local school district's decision to mandate masks again for all the kids.
