  1. One of the purposes of social isolation and lockdowns is to prevent the virus from overwhelming the existing medical infrastructure and to provide time to devise a treatment and possible cure. Another purpose is to protect the frontline workers from constant, repeated exposure to infection. Wanna just let it run wild through the general population? Then let the New York example be your guide.
  2. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...uh...don't get fooled again." --George W. Bush Shame on you Jim Bowie, you've been fooled again. Texas sits in fourth place among states with the fewest number of covid tests per capita, so you can't see what's coming your way. The death rate is climbing and the spillover of infections into Mexico is creating havoc along the border.
  3. You're referring to a post that was full of distortions, inaccuracies and misleading information. Dr. Fauci didn't make the prediction, he was relying on a study prepared at the University of Washington, not by Washington, D.C., insiders, as stated in the post. He was also clear in stating that the study predicted a range between 140,000 and 200,000 deaths. The authors of the study have since revised their figures downward, reflecting how seriously the population has responded to the covid crisis. The death toll keeps rising...and we still have a long way to go.
  4. "As I was driving home late one Sunday evening through Bakersfield California/Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station/I heard the preacher say/You know you always have the lord by your side/And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran 20 red lights in his honor/Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord" --Jagger/Richards Seeing this, some people might say, "Fine, let the damn fool kill himself." On the other hand, some people might say, "No, call the cops. He might run over an old man too slow to get out of the way...or a baby held tight in her mother's arms...or crash into an ambulance rushing to save someone's life."
  5. Hey Hud, time to sharpen that little pencil of yours and redo your math as Texas emerges as the latest hotspot in the coronavirus pandemic.
  6. Radon gas is a byproduct of natural uranium degradation. Municipal water wells in Southern California are monitored for radon gas, not just because drinking slightly radioactive water is harmful to living things but because it may be an indication of underground movement and a precursor to an earthquake.
