8. Faze for this meaning. Phase means something else.

Phase and Faze
Phase and faze are homophones (words pronounced alike but different in meaning, derivation, or spelling) that may easily be confused. Despite the similarity in pronunciation, these words bear little semantic resemblance to one another.

Although phase can function as a verb – it is found especially in combinations such as phase out, phase in, and phase into, meaning “to end, begin, etc. in phases” – the word is most commonly encountered as a noun, in which it typically carries a meaning related to steps in a process, cycles, or stages of development (as in “phases of the moon”).

Faze is generally used only as a verb, and means “to daunt or disconcert.” It often appears in negative expressions such as “it didn’t faze her a bit” or “nothing fazes him.”

11. Thanks, I didnt think I made the word up

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Canaries in a coal mine.

This is not right. Safer at home.

[piddyprints]

7. And our governor

lets parents opt out of mask mandates. So, um, why have them?

He's just as bad as the dudes in FL and TX.

[spanone]

9. Our governor is one evil shit.

10. Republican-ism...

...can KILL or MAIM you...follow Republican-ism at your and your family's peril...

...when will they learn that politicizing a pandemic is a bad idea?...what will it take?

...causing a child to be put in harms way has to be some form of child abuse...

...save the fetus, kill the child...

...Republican-ism...

12. Republicans killed my child because they outlawed mask mandates

It will be an easy line to use against them in 2022.

13. My daughter told me that her husband has been offered a job in Tennessee and they have to accept it

by Tuesday. The pay is really good, but I don't want my daughter in a state with a Covidiot governor. She is vaccinated, but I'm still nervous about it.

The governors of Texas, Florida, and Tennessee seem to be trying to kill people. I can't believe they are okay with all these children infected with Covid.

14. Also Arizona.

[Traildogbob]

16. South Dakota

FreeDumb epidemic.

[roamer65]

18. This is where things are going to start to get "interesting".

I am waiting for parents who lose children to “lose it”.

This has strong potential to become very ugly.

19. A smart disease like covid will eventually go after the softer targets.

All the old people are vaccinated so it bounces around and finds those that aren't which are children. Let's put them all back in school with no masks brilliant f****** brilliant.
