"Record numbers testing positive for a sore throat isn't a crisis. And people in the hospital for car accidents testing positive isn't a surge," Rubio wrote. "The real crisis is the irrational hysteria which has people with no symptoms waiting hours for a test or missing work for 10 days."
He went on to encourage fans who attended Friday's Orange Bowl football game in Miami.
"Very happy to see a packed stadium for tonight's #OrangeBowl," he tweeted. "There is no reason to close, limit or cancel anything. Ignore the hysteria & have a great New Years Eve!"

We can catch the same COVID and have different reactions. We've been reading about it for a couple of years now. There should be no excuse to say or even believe that all of us will only get a sore throat. shame rubio

(104 posts)I actually watched that terrible game. At best, the stadium was half full in the thunderdome state of Florida. Once again, to the facists, the sky is not blue and trump is not orange, and the Orange Bowl was full.
Even these, seemingly, innocuous lies must be called out.
Sorry to be starting this one off like this. Somebody, please, give me something to laugh about. I am tired of all this bull shit. ..
