Houston Baby with COVID-19, in need of an ICU bed, was airlifted to a hospital 150 miles away

[Shell_Seas]

Because the most populous county in Texas was out of pediatric ICU beds. This makes me so fucking mad. And school starts in one week.

4. They'll be pretending all week.

Pretending that kids don’t catch COVID, spread Covid to others, or get serious Covid. Schools are germ factories. Always have been, always will be.

So, a week will be lost pretending, instead of facing an approaching problem, and dealing with it realistically.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Meanwhile, children are being used as “canaries in a coal mine”. It’s child abuse.

5. Teach at home

Lincoln logs, mud puddles, Go Dog Go, Calvin an Hobbes, Green Eggs and Ham, doll house, dog walks.

6. Too angry for words. Gov Abbott should have been made to hold that poor baby all the way.
