I reeeeeeally want a source for this Dallas judge business. If that's true, that's messed up.

I don't know about the claim in that tweet, but Jenkins has been more power-mad than Little Lina since this all started. His reaction today: "Listen to me and the doctors."
I believe I saw TEA said it was up to the individual school districts.TXTransplant said:
Tomball ISD punted to TEA. Said nothing will change until they get guidance from TEA
Hot potato
If you're expecting any changes with schools you're setting yourself up for disappointment. They're gonna punt to the summer.

That twitter handle shows up on the politics board a lot and is usually completely unsubstantiated or just flat out false.
Yeah I've been following that handle for a while and it seems like it's just some sort of alarmist bullsh-tter

There are still people that desperately want the vaccine (I know some in the 1A/1B category) that are unable to get the shot yet. I think that we should have at least cleared that group before going 100%, but that's just me.
We're never gonna clear a whole group. At some point you have move forward
Because honestly I don't see how they haven't gotten it if they are in indeed in that group. I've personally heard of people not in those groups getting it because vaccine places can't fill all their slots and they need to use it up.
Two different issues here.
My father in-law is 64 and a cancer survivor. He is unable to sign up because the slots are full. There are no open slots in his area.
Vaccines are going to waste because people aren't showing up for their appointments, and the vaccine goes bad after leaving refrigeration.
We went through the same with my dad until a few weeks ago. It's a pain, but you have to jump on the websites when they open up. My wife keeps an eye on these lists through her little mom's group. I can give you a heads up next time I hear of something.
As far as "wasted vaccine", I haven't read anything about his being a wide spread issues. The folks administering these vaccines typically have backup plans for no-shows.
This is where I think we've failed the highest risk population, particularly the elderly. My friend has a 96 year old grandmother who still hasn't been vaccinated because she lives in an independent living facility (and not assisted care). She doesn't have the means to even schedule a vaccine appointment, much less get to one. But because her facility is independent and not assisted living, she can't get a vaccine brought to her. And she's not allowed to have visitors, so no one can go get her to take her.
Thankfully, a family friend (grandma lives in another state) offered to make the appt if the facility will transport her there.
Not trying to be an azzhole, but should we really be prioritizing 96 year olds?
That was when masks had been mandated. They didn't need to put in a requirement. If that remains the same I'd be extremely surprised.
Give it two weeks
Probably not a popular take, but their beer sucks anyway.Seersucker Ag 2011 said:

Why can't they still distance and wear masks if they choose to?Diggity said:
you ain't kidding. This lady already has both doses, but everyone gonna die now.
Someone should tell her businesses can still mandate whatever the hell they want...and nobody is preventing you and your malnourished ilk from wearing all the masks you want.
They can't do it Captain! They don't have the power!
People acting like Saint Arnold doing this is surprising are the same people that are shocked Willie Nelson is a liberal.
If the priority is to reduce deaths, yes.
81% of all Covid deaths are among those 65 and older; 32% are 85+.
This also happens to be the age demographic that needs the most assistance with making and getting to vaccine appointments.
If you want to significantly reduce deaths, you vaccinate the oldest first.

Every joint in town will continue to trot the mask line for a while to show they 'care' and don't agree ... then will quietly drop it. All restraunts have been already doing it all day

HEB already said they won't. That's where I mostly go other than baseball stuff for my kids where we never even wore masks in the first place.
If other businesses require I'll just go somewhere else.

Because they need the safety illusion of others wearing masks. Simple as that.
I wouldn't say it sucks but it ain't great.
I'm curious what the beer of choice is for the "their beer sucks" folks.

Them getting rid of 5 O'clock Pils is damn near unforgivable.

Not surprising at all, and their right to do it. I just wonder, and fear, that nearly every business will continue to require masks.
St Arnolds has a beer black is beautiful
You're gonna be hard pressed to find a brewery that didn't brew that exact beer.
That's true and much like children the more you notice them the more they will freak out.Diggity said:
hate to break it to you, people were going to freak out on social media no matter what. It's what people do.
Yeah I don't know not a beer snob went to st Arnolds once. Never seen it in the grocery stores.Ranger #007 said:

So do over a thousand other breweries in 22 countries. Liquid pandering
So, the thing that some people seem to be completely (and conveniently) ignoring is that standard contact tracing procedures are contact within 6 ft for more than 15 minutes with no mask.
If you come into contact with someone who tests positive and all three of those criteria are met, then you have to quarantine. If you come into contact with someone who tests positive and only one or two of those criteria are met, you don't have to quarantine.
This is effectively the "standard" that the public health department is using.
So, even if you did get it from someone and you were both wearing masks and staying 6 ft apart, public health says it didn't happen and you must have gotten it somewhere else.
So, who the heck goes to HEB and gets closer than 6ft to a complete stranger for 15 minutes?
Masks shouldn't be required in places like HEB for that reason alone.

It was a big thing in craft beer. The recipe was made by a black brewer out of San Antonio. Thousands of breweries picked it up. They made their own version and donated proceeds to charities of their choice. Pretty sure they were predominantly brewery only releases or maybe distributed to a few bars. Nothing insanely political.
