New!

"151,826"

@realDonaldTrump

Rarely has anybody deserved the death penalty more than the Boston Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The court agreed that this “was one of the worst domestic terrorist attacks since the 9/11 atrocities”. Yet the appellate court tossed out the death sentence. So many lives lost....

Georgia: CDC reports of a huge superspreading event in 260 kids+adults from YMCA camp.

Wow. CDC reports of a huge superspreading event in 260 kids+adults from YMCA camp. ~1/2 children aged 6-10 positive. 44% aged 11-17 positive.

➡️#COVID19 SPREADS IN KIDS.

➡️WHY NO MASKS WEARING?

...oh wait @BrianKempGA blocked mask mandate rules.

2) Camp required a test <12 days before arriving & attempted "pods"

Masks required for staff but NOT campers

Clearly these measures not enough for control. And using the pods is akin to the cohorting that CDC suggested. This is likely not adequate.
