Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tests positive for COVID-19 — The Texas Tribune
“He spoke Monday night at a GOP event in Collin County, later tweeting photos of him addressing a maskless crowd. Less than three hours before his diagnosis was announced Tuesday afternoon, he tweeted pictures of a meeting with guitarist Jimmie Vaughan.”

Not a very cheery article.
He’ll be fine. It’s just a little virus.I’m speechless.
Not saying I hope he doesn't recover but isn't that rich?
They should opt-out all together and home-school.Parents submit a form to the school to opt out of wearing a mask.
Here’s an example from S.C.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who opposes vaccine and mask mandates, tests positive for COVID-19
Governor Greg Abbott today tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. The Governor has been testing daily, and today was the first positive test result.
The Texas Republican, who has signed legislation banning vaccine and mask mandates in his state, gave what he described as a “standing room only event in Collin County” Monday night.
Photos of the event show few people wearing masks at the indoor gathering.

My daughter is a NICU NP, she had Covid, is vaccinated and has a 12y/o son. She’s consulted with her son’s pediatrician and a pediatric cardiologist regarding this side effect. Both drs.have yet to vaccinate their kids. The cardiologist said that the sample size is too small for him to make a recommendation. He’s constantly reviewing studies and has yet to vaccinate his son.Personally, I don’t much like the headlines about teenage boys being susceptible to heart problems post-Pfizer. My husband’s dad and brother both have dicky tickers.
Plus, I know plenty of people who’ve caught Covid after Pfizer or AZ, but none after Moderna (though this is skewed slightly by the fact far fewer Brits got Moderna)
I think I read that he is vaccinated
No doubt he protected himself.

"Australia is now giving 200 vaccine doses a minute"

We are trying so freakin' hard to get ahead of Delta. The NSW premier is telling residents to brace for escalating cases over the next little while.
Poland let us buy 1,000,000 doses of Pfizer from them, to help us out.
Apparently, our allies are not going to help us, which is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow. I read yesterday that the US thinks it is 'bad for optics' to help a first world country.
Niswonger CEO quarantining after husband tests positive for COVID-19 | WJHL | Tri-Cities News & Weather
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — The Niswonger Children’s Hospital CEO is in quarantine after her husband — an educator — tested positive for COVID-19.
Niswonger CEO Lisa Carter revealed Monday night that her husband is one of three teachers at his high school who tested positive.
This is how it's playing out in NE TN. Not a pretty sight
For clarification, Alan Levine is CEO of Ballad Health, our large healthcare system.

I'm sitting at home, as close in as possible and watching.....
I'm curious about vaccine purchase in Australia.
Canada purchased millions of vaccines early on, but there were huge delays in getting them. Meanwhile, AstraZeneca was tested on older adults and seemed safe. That vaccine was made available to everyone over 65 around March, then over 60 and so on. Everyone was told that AstraZeneca was better than nothing, so get the shot regardless of reservations.
Only after it was given to the younger demographic were deadly side effects discovered. Until then, older adults who died of the side effects were considered to have died from naturally occurring old age death.
Finally, in May this year, Pfizer and Moderna became widely available to people over 40. Second shots were available in June, but then there was a Pfizer shortage and AstraZeneca use was stopped. That was the start of mixing vaccines. In June, anyone over 18 could get the first dose. Between June - August, the country was flooded with enough vaccines for everyone over the age of 12 to get both shots.
My question is whether the Australian government purchased millions of doses early on and delivery was a problem, was the purchase made too late? I don't understand why Australia is in this situation of desperately trying to get vaccines so late in the pandemic.

I can't help but wonder how many people he infected prior to the positive test due to the lack of his wearing a mask........ It's so sad.Just another glaring example of his complete lack of leadership and moral bankruptcy. He's personally ordered 2,500 medical staff from FEMA due to the raging virus depleting our states's hospitals. His staff has ordered five refrigerated trucks for overflow body storage and he's fighting in every court in Texas to tie the hands of school administrators requesting mask mandates.
The picture in the above article says it all except for any mention of contact tracing, or the possibility of his being the source of a superspreader event.
I'll admit it's really really hard for me to find any sympathy for this very flawed man that even with the very best information available to him chooses to go without a mask. You own it Abbott.
