1. If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.

2. Hmmm....

Would you happen to have a non-social-media link to this Texas law in question, or do you personally vouch for the accuracy of GlenJman and @debdrens ?

AN ACT relating to in-person visitation with hospital patients during certain periods of disaster.

Many hospitals currently allow one visitor per day during visiting hours

10. "They would not stop fiddling with knobs, pushing buttons"

Where are the insurance companies in this bullshit?

Get these morons out of the hospitals. If they refuse vaccination, they can go to the emergency tent staffed by google experts who know better.

Save doctoring and nursing for those who do believe in science.
