You just linked 2 maps where every popular illegal border crossing city in Texas is a hotspot to call me a liar. FFS. The irony lol. I just can't.

Only if you ignore the entire rest of the state.

Or the rest of the border along the SW where cases aren't spiking.

and the answer to this is there's an ICE Processing Center for Illegal Immigrants in Springfield, MO. Opened in 2019.

Predominantly office space for working on materials for hearings according to the information I've been able to find.

Manage to get here Covid free and the Feds are going to go out of their way to make sure you get it.

I have no doubt some of them are COVID+. It's a pandemic.

The issue is people acting as if COVID would peter out if only we stopped migrants from entering; that the dominating force keeping our surge going is migrants reintroducing COVID.

Of which there is zero evidence and, honestly, a ridiculously low chance of happening statistically.

Thanks DeSantis!

Trump/DeSantis 2024!!

What does he have to do with me or do you think all conservatives look alike?

Same guy who previously said

Conservatives believe individuals have responsibilities in conjunction with our freedoms and the government should have limited involvement in our lives.
Liberals are opposite. They believe in the government being responsible for everyones well being and individuals take limited responsibility for themselves since they're all victims of the system or whoever is the latest scapegoat.

I swear, if "C-c-conservatives" didn't have spoon fed caricatures they'd have nothing at all.

Now compare that to HIV/AIDS. Perfect 100% death ratio for HIV/AIDS.

Try again.

Covid can kill, but overwhelmingly has little, if any long term impact on the people that come in contact with it.

#41 | POSTED BY JUSTVAXXED

Completely, massively wrong.

The common cold kills more children than covid, so are you going to enforce your same suggestion for those with the common cold? How about those with HIV? Seems you have locked onto covid only for some reason. Why?

#35 | POSTED BY JUSTVAXXED

Facts not in evidence, moron.

Should gays be forced or pressured to take an experimental HIV vaccine as soon as it becomes available?

Why is it you tools have nothing but hilariously bad false equivalencies?

Why are old white Chreestian Republicans such snowflakes? Their entire worldview is a gamish of poor theology used to justify a faux victim complex.

my contention would be

Contend all you want. A patient wouldn't be transferred until if and when they are stabilized.

Which means you're not having a COVID free hospital.

And further, such a hospital would publicly broadcast "If you think that you have covid DO NOT COME to our ED. We do not inpatient covid cases and if you're infected, you will be transferred to another facility."

See above.

It's a dead conversation, Tony. Let it go.

Meanwhile, Democrat officials yesterday declared a local disaster. Migrant influx + Covid.

That doesn't in any way suggest migrants are driving COVID outbreaks in that area.

It simply means COVID is prevalent and they're putting large groups of people together in closed, confined spaces.

What migrant center not at the border is a hotspot? If the nefarious Biden scheme to ship migrants secretly around the country is drive COVID outbreaks, then surely you have plenty of examples of migrant center locations being particularly high in case loads.

Oh hell, is there a migrant detention center in Springfield, MO?

Things weren't done properly.

Things AREN'T being done properly. By the very people scapegoating migrants.

and is sending migrants to camps that are Covid hotspots.

The majority of the country is a hot spot again. Do you have any actual data showing migrants are bringing COVID with them or are you just spitbaling like everyone else I ask that question to?

Nor that the entire border is a hotspot where the chance of Texans dying is vastly higher than anywhere else in state.

Also why lockdowns in the US are a joke. Can't control the border, there is zero chance of controlling a virus.

If things were done properly and people took advantage of the amazing position they're in by living in a country with free, readily available vaccines and mitigation measures you wouldn't need to shut the borders.

The scapegoating of migrants, who represent a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of millions of "muh freedumz" idiots running around is a common feature of FB memes and the uninformed sharing them. Odd I'd see you go down that road.

Today's Dems had nothing to do with that except maybe Biden and Feinstein.

#23 | POSTED BY SCOTTE

That was pretty funny.

Honestly, though, do you really think they cleave to the GOP because they feel condescended to by the Dems?

Their undying support, even as they're dying, is little more than a middle finger to Dems?

It is not against the law to limit services, nor would it cost any physician his/her license. Case in point - Catholic hospitals do not offer abortions, period.

A person showing up at the ED with respiratory distress and O2 in the 80s isn't going to be viewed through the same lens as an abortion.

Medical professionals would be obligated to render care in that case.

The only way in which this conversation becomes close to reality is in a triage situation where hospitals turn patients away because there simply aren't the resources or space to treat them. That's it.

Not feeling sorry for her or her lazy @$$ constituents.

Let's be real. You don't feel bad for anyone.

What I am concerned with is the private landlords dumping properties that investment firms then buy up and rent for high prices impacting towns in negative ways.

Bingo!

I can understand this as personal FREEDOM is that last thing that lefties {i.e. Control FREAKS} believe in.

Hey -------. Your side is currently shredding the Constitution and driving a stake into the heart of the country TO MAINTAIN CONTROL.

Paywalled.

It's little more than selfishness. That's it. Any other claim is just overthinking it.

There is no discussion about hospitals turning people away.

It violates the ethical standards of the profession and would cost every professional in the building their license to practice.

It's a stupid conversation. Let it go.

So Bedminster is the new Munich Beer Hall?

LOL

That's it?

The final tally shows your "businessman" POTUS was a flop and all you got is LOL?

Well, I'm starting to think I might be wrong about this winter.

We could burn through all the unvaccinated by then while some, finally waking up, will get vaccinated.

What meaningful change and improvement have the Dems brought to rural America?

ACA

You're putting the cart before the horse.

Well, at least for me.

I don't have contempt for rural Americans at all. I grew up in rural America.

I have contempt for people who are easily fooled by transparently dishonest politicians so often it's clearly not that they're fooled anymore. I have contempt for people who hold themselves up as some sort of paragon of morals, integrity and patriotism as they support lying, cheating conmen who are the antithesis of every core value of America.

Please. I won't respect willing stupidity and gullibility simply because it's people's "opinion."
