Have yall  given any thought to how many people are going to die because you went to restaurant?  Sounds like a bunch of selfish, compassionless, white Republicans to me.

I resemble that remark. Nyuk Nyuk. 

We are exposed to germs everyday. Wearing masks filters out some of those germs that our immune systems need to keep ourselves immune. I’m no doctor but it makes sense to me.

I am glad you are there because this virus is NEVER going to cease to exist aka the flu.  As for testing being the answer, I ask this.  If I pass the test today, is that assurance that I wont come in contact with and transmit the virus tomorrow, next week, next month?

Good question. I too have one. If they are saying that to contract Covid-19 and recover is no an assurance of relapse, why would a vaccine help? Vaccines make us produce antibodies to the virus but is not a 100% guarantee that you won’t get it anyway. If having the virus and recovering doesn’t produce antibodies to make you immune, being vaccinated won’t help much. Does that make sense?

Side note: just found out that Texas Roadhouse won’t “open” till Tuesday.

couldnt agree more on having the virus antibodies versus vaccination.  Incidentally, I have been tested  at two separate sights for the antibodies and I have them.  I didnt know it at the time, but I can recall when I had the virus.   I am one of those considered most vulnerable.  Had two days of fever, ten days of cough, and a week of reduced sense of taste.   But when fever was gone, I was as good as new.

Lol. I eat the typical tamales, enchiladas, taco plates too, but the chalupas here are fantastic. I need about ten napkins and a bib, but it’s worth it. 

That's fine but be sure not to use a plastic straw  and dont flaunt you white privilege

Actually, there was an Hispanic family as we entered and an Asian couple after that. We sat in the back so I’m afraid there was no white privilege being extended. Should I have reminded them when I came in?

I was all ready to go eat out on Saturday but chickened out at the last minute.  Ordered Schlotzkys thru their app instead.  

I was just thinking... what if the guy that sat in my chair before me was sick?  Couldn't shake it.  We'll see what happens to the number of infections over the next week or so and then I'll jump back into the pool.  

I literally ate at the Chick-Fil-A on Downlen Road at about 7:45pm on the last day that they were open before their 18 workers tested positive.  It spooked me... not gonna lie.

My viewpoint is that the number infections is going to go up NOT because more people are getting it but because more test results are going to become available.  If I am understanding the contagiousness of the virus correctly, sitting in the same chair of someone who had the infection should not cause you to get it.   I believe that you must contact some of the "droplets" and let them find a way to your mouth/nose.  I suspect much of that is transmitted when it gets on your hands and you wind up touching your face.  If I am wrong about this, I apologize in advance.  I am pretty sure that this virus is more widespread than anyone realizes.  If you wish, google stanford university study of Santa Clara county where they concluded that the number of cases is vastly understated.  That makes the mortality rate much lower.

Great points as always....

I will say the people making money off of the scourge are the ones making the “We Are Open” signs.

Still takeout only, we are having meat loaf from the Feed Store for lynch. Tough to beat that cooking. We try to spread our dining money around. We are partial to Pine Tree Lodge. Best catfish around. Feed Store and Pine Tree.......can’t find anything on either menu that is not out of this world.

    • Nah… to be completely honest, I think it goes like this.  I’m split on it.    Part of me says that there’s a segment of voters who believe that trump should be the ruler, whatever that means. It’s about 25% of R voters according to polls. They’re the hardcore Trump loyalists… the kind of people who would travel to DC in the winter to hear Trump speak at a rally, then ransack the Capitol… maybe trump doesn’t believe his own “you’ll never have to vote again” rhetoric-but he’s just throwing red meat to the fascism supporting minority of the R party. Kinda like he does when he says racist crap to fire up the minority of his followers (cough, Baddog, cough) who really don’t like brown skins or foreigners. You know, Trump doesn’t really want unilateral power, he just needs to whip up his voters who think he should have unilateral power. It’s possible, right? Then the other side of me sees who he was willing to say or do ANYTHING to remain in office, even after it became obvious that he didn’t have the votes. The fact that he refuses to accept reality as late as the debate last week makes me think, “no… this guy is the real deal, willing to do ANYTHING to get back in office and then willing to do anything to keep it and/or hand it off to his heir apparent.     Over time, things have ping-ponged back and forth between monarchies/fascists who get overrun by the masses, then that form of government (populist) erodes to the point where a strong man seizes power.  I think we fought off socialism/communism as a republic and in 2024 we’re fighting off a facist-style movement where enough of the population has enough faith in one leader to give them absolute power.    But that’s just my opinion. Trump and his hardcore followers (the ones who aren’t in prison for their 1/6 activities represent the biggest internal threat to our democracy that we’ve seen in my lifetime.  The fact that it’s originating from “my” side is what’s particularly troubling to me. I would have expected the left to converge around a popular leftist, not the right. 
    • I don’t tune in all the time, but I do like Kat. I’m know the studio audience and tv audience enjoyed the show.
    • It looks like Tyler won this game last year and both team look to be much improved.  I think Lufkin may struggle a little out of the box bringing the QB back in, but the Lufkin D will help in that transition. I see Lufkin by 14 as Tyler should struggle to score. Seeya next week 👊
