I always feel bad for the reporter, who extremely likely had nothing to do with the headline but will catch all the poo poo for it. This is what happens when you fire all your copy editors and outsource the job to some "hub" in Jacksonville.

I am finally looking into moving out of Houston to a place with better outdoor life and the short drives to poo poo like mountains or the beach is pretty mind blowing

Just about every body I know who was actually raised in Texas has a similar experience. It hasn't been remote since the horse and buggy days.

Those freshly minted orphans? That sucks. Someone with an immunodeficiency, who CANT get the vaxx catching this and dying? Sucks. Me, following all the precautions, getting vaxxed, and masking up, tryong to social distance, and still catching it? That would suck. But truthfully? After the past decade of wider and wider political schism? I'm not worried or bothered anymore by the sort of people who say, masks are a choice, vaxx are a danger, and covid is a plandemic dying from covid. loving thin the herd. Rack 'em 'n stack 'em.

The only parts of the States where "30 miles" is "a pretty long drive" are places like Los Angeles and NYC.

crossposting https://twitter.com/lmcgaughy/status/1428438745569763333 Well, I know this idea was in the general discourse, but looks like they are looking how to implement it, at least in north Texas. quote:The online meeting involving several dozen doctors representing many area hospitals took place Monday. Afterward, in his email, co-chair Fine summarized decisions made by the task force. He boiled it down to three bullet points. Here they are: The major concern here are that historically disadvantaged socioeconomic groups tend to be under vaccinated. TX is in relatively better shape than the other Southern states, we have a few hundred ICU beds (of course, in a state this size, if they run out in DFW, a hundred ICU beds in Amarillo aren't gonna help much) - Mississippi health officials reported today that they have less than 10 beds and 96 patients that need them.
