This happened near me. It wasn't just over a mask. The kid had to quartantine (and miss some kind of field trip, from what I gathered) because of a COVID exposure in the class/school. He wasn't the only one. Still, way over the top, no matter what the circumstance.
It seems like time is going backwards towards 1984 . . . :freaking:

Ponchi asked the question several days back, though I don't recall exactly how he phrased it. It was something to the effect that GOP policy related to COVID is basically killing the Republican base.

Now we have some hard data beginning to document precisely what's happening. Now, I think MSNBC is jumping the gun a little and perhaps being even being a bit selective in terms of how it is interpreting these data (see link), which MSNBC does from time to time. Just because a county voted 70-80% for Trump, who is the other 20-30%? White Democrats? People of color? And then you don't know for sure how many people didn't vote at all, which is going to include a lot of rural people of color, especially in states like Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama--just to name a few. What is their representation among COVID deaths in red counties?

But all that said, even if one tried to get highly creative and avoid the statistical probabilities, I don't see how these data are anything BUT completely damning.

Even I can see the lawsuit that would come from this sitting at my kitchen table.

Correx: Two different judges on the two decisions; it’s the same case in the same court; and the latter judge reversed the former’s decision. Apologies.

That is freaking sickening. This virus is killing you even though YOU DON'T HAVE IT.

A display of power? If one doctor can decide that he will not treat unvaccinated people, maybe hospitals can switch their triage protocol and stop allowing COVID people in and let in others in need of ICU's and extensive care, who are in danger (as the video posted by Dry shows).
