    The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is out with new COVID-19 health guidance for schools that's giving some medical experts cause for concern.

    The new guidelines state that schools don't have to inform parents of positive cases; schools do not have to contact trace; and parents can choose to send a student to school if he or she has been in close contact with a positive case, among other updates

    On the bright side, when he's older you can tell him the whole family got sick because he didn't get vaccinated.

    There is a lot of reason to worry with this. This is pretty much the exact scenario that got us all sick here. My nephew was in a summer school and they didn't tell parents that 2 teachers were covid positive. Without the knowledge, I still stayed up at my sister's house on work days, and still came home for the weekend and gave it to my girlfriend. I wore masks at gas stations and such when in transit, but who knows if I spread it along the route.

    Dick Farrell, Trumpist right wing shock jock and Newsmax contributor, called vaccines poison, said he did not need and would not get Covid vaccine and called people who were vaccinated sheep. He called Dr. Fauci a power tripping lying freak. He died of Covid Friday.

    In Britain, Leslie Lawrenson, an antivax spokesman said vaccine was more dangerous than Covid. When he first tested positive he said he was glad because he could prove Covid was no big deal. He died nine days later.

    DeSantis is not demonstrating any political leadership, Thirty thousand new people infected with Covid 19, another blind hope for Trumpers

    I'll have my brains ta'en out, and buttered, and give them to a dog for a new year's gift.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    But this one thread is IN the OT section.

    It brings to mind that famous religious philosophical question: Can god create a thread so large that not even the forum it's in can contain it?

    He's a healthy little dude. And so far his symptoms are pretty light. I feel pretty good about it, all things considered. I think my girlfriend has had it the worst so far. I'm just tired and have a headache. Pretty much the extent of what I'm feeling. I'm keeping my nephew in my thoughts though.
