No point reciting more this evening of the parade of COVID-19 horrors pouring in as the Delta variant sweeps the world.
But there is this: I’m seeing growing mentions in social media that a coronavirus surge serious enough for even Governor Hutchinson to acknowledge raises a dark specter. Is a return to stadiums packed with unmasked, unvaccinated people spraying Woo-Pig-Sooie droplets a good idea? It might even be more problematic at high schools in the many places in Arkansas that are resisting vaccinations in big numbers. Could a “regular” football season be denied again if things worsen?
Those who fear this can take positive action.
Get a shot dammit. And wearing a mask isn’t a bad idea in public places, no matter what Trent Garner thimks. (Intentional typo — a reference to long-ago Mad magazine spoof. What, Trent worry?)
Also: Ask you’re Republican legislator if he, she, they, it has been vaccinated. And if not, why not?
