Texas Gov. Abbott tests positive for COVID
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/17/us/greg-abbott-texas-covid-positive.htmlThe headline says it all.
"Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas tested positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday.....An ardent opponent of mask and vaccine mandates, Mr. Abbott, a Republican, has taken his opposition to such requirements all the way to the state Supreme Court. Mr. Abbott, who is fully vaccinated, will now be isolated in the Governor’s Mansion while receiving monoclonal antibody treatment, which can help Covid-19 patients who are at risk of getting very sick....The announcement came less than a day after Mr. Abbott appeared at a crowded indoor political event hosted by a Republican club in Collin County, a hotly contested area of fast-growing suburbs north of Dallas."
