“I have no fever, no aches and pains, no other types of symptoms,” the Republican governor said. direct quote from the man himself, the article also mentions him as being asymptomatic.

lol. Scared.
Then why get the additional 3rd shot and the Regeneron treatment. This statement to his local news to save his pride and ass.
He was scared, but not as scared as his followers should be when they get delta with no vaccine in their system. Sad
They advocate not taking precautions then get the best treatments available to lessen the bad side effects for them and pretend like they're proof that it's no big deal even though they get treatment 95% of us wouldn't get.
I don’t get it. Republicans are all about less federal power, more state power, all in the name of freedom, yet when Texas counties want to make their own decisions regarding the mask mandate, he has all power to stop them? Isn’t that, like, hypocritical?

I'll point out that its hot enough down in the South that we all spend all day inside AC at this point. I'm hopeful as fall approaches that it cools down enough for many to do outside activities again. You'll see this up North again as people retreat to buildings from the cold in a few months.
I'm hopeful anyway lol!!!!
The way the vaccinated are getting sick now days has certainly put Covid right back on many's radar.
Boosters are coming in September...
All the political BS aside, I cant imagine the amount of suffering those statistics reflect. My breakthrough case has not been a walk in the park, believe me. This is nasty shit.
I just cant fathom not wanting to be protected from something so awful.

whats your source? I dont know that your source is anymore credible than what the man himself says. also when did he receive what in relation to the dinner?

If Pfizer will require a 3rd (or annual) vaccine, then I suspect so will Moderna and J&J...
The reason is the mutant strains that keep popping-up without herd immunity.
Simply put, its a race between variant spread and vaccine right now.
wouldnt it stand to reason that if there is a mutation that is vaccine resistant that (requiring that annual booster) that herd immunity is not achievable? the occurances will be greatly reduced by more people getting vaccinated, but Covid is something that will always be around regardless of who does/doesnt get the shot.
I dont know if it will ever burn out completely or not? The odds of it burning away certainly have to increase exponentially with herd immunity I would think???
I remember someone who used to be POTUS telling us it will all just go away if we just stop the damn testing and quit looking for it 
Maybe that would still work?
Basically thats what the current guy is trying to do by changing the threshold for a positive test result. Of course he owes his presidency to the virus so he can't be to dismissive of it.
I had not heard that before. IF true, fueled by data and science or politics?
I do agree, Trumps decisions and approach to the pandemic were one of the reasons for his being voted out.
The CDC literally set guidelines as to not overamplify the test once he was sworn in. You know, stuff that had been called out for 9 months or so by the "internet scientists."
And there are scientists that are saying that the vaccines can be causing the variants. Many vaccines don't make it past the trial phase because they promote viral mutation. the Warp fast and furious skipped much of the testing, so perhaps that is what we are seeing now. Vaccines that should haven't made it to market.

its very possible, but since that genie is out of the bottle its really a moot point now though isnt it? I would think that we should be concentrating on making sure the next move isnt going to lead to further complications down the road. (something our govt doesnt really give a shit about anymore, but the future needs to be considered every bit as much as the now.)
and since we have effective treatments, perhaps it is time to get on the bureaucrats that are restricting these cheap effective treatments of a deadly disease.

if those treatments are OTC or otherwise widely available... who needs a bureaucrat to get involved at all? but it still needs to be done in a manner that is able to be tracked and monitored. I have heard of people that make claims that they took drug X or what ever for their covid and were fine, but yet they have no detectable antibodies when tested... so did they ever have covid to begin with or a nasty other cold or virus? I know a lot of people seem to believe that covid was in my area 6 months or more before it was detected here, but as i have pointed out, that makes no sense since once it finally did hit here hard we definitely saw the results as the hospitals filled up as did the funeral homes for a few months and then things subsided, if it had actually come through prior to that time we would have seen a similar crunch on the ICU and mortuaries would we?

They aren't available OTC, but should be made widely available if this is as dangerous as the politicians and media say.
As far as whether those miracle recoveries were covid or not, well that has been the question all along.
and with the hospital crunch, not sure the media driven fear didn't make that worse. People were so afraid, often they didn't go to the hospital until it was too late. How many people avoided going to regular checkups for heart, cancer, other issues out of fear. Know a few EMT/firemen and they all had stories about people having a stroke or something and refusing to go to the hospital out of fear.
Yeah, IMO the media has plenty of blood on its hands.
