      Exactly. An uptick in Covid in a place where most people turn wearing a mask into a political weakness shouldn’t be surprising.

    I don’t understand. I thought every single Texan was armed, why do they not simply shoot the non-existent virus

    Interesting strategy that they have 10 recorded staff out sick but they want to resume classes on Tuesday. They will cancel classes when all the teachers are out sick and not enough subs to cover is what I am assuming.
