Right? Too bad the community at large wasn't consulted in the "calculated risk" to join a large crowd at a game.So how long before we see a new "Texas Rangers" variant? Too bad it will attack people other than only Rangers fans.

I can’t even tell all you posters how much this Covid board has helped me over the last 12+ months. Rsbm There is as much misinformation that I hear now as I heard Feb a year ago. I’m just so thankful to be able to come here and read posts regarding science and advocating caution and responsibility. Thank you.
I can’t even tell all you posters how much this Covid board has helped me over the last 12+ months. It’s my daily dose of anxious sanity after hearing nonsense all day every day much like the poster above who mentioned the cdc has a problem with being seen as reliable. I agree it’s the sad truth. There is as much misinformation that I hear now as I heard Feb a year ago. I’m just so thankful to be able to come here and read posts regarding science and advocating caution and responsibility. Thank you.
And so on, and so on, and scooby dooby doo...
