Once again I’m totally embarrassed by, and angered at, some of my fellow Texans. Over the past few days they have basically held two major sporting events that were both packed shoulder to shoulder with fans, most of whom were not even wearing masks.
Baylor University hosted a watch party in their football stadium so students could watch the CB NCAA National Championship game. I seriously doubt very many of them have been vaccinated since they are so young that they are just now becoming eligible for vaccination. I get that this was their first chance at a national championship, which they did win, but was it so important to watch it en masse that they basically created a super-spreader event?
The Texas Rangers organization held its first full attendance of a game in its new stadium, and it was packed, and very few of those fans wore masks either. Ironically, just a few weeks ago I got my first vaccination shot in the new Rangers Ballpark. So it went from being a mega vaccination site to a super-spreader site that quickly!
Sadly, our state's political leaders don't care and have reopened our state against all medical and scientific logic. Buckle up kids, it is going to be a bumpy ride...
