Seriously, you cannot make this stuff up.
Today’s post is not intended to offend anyone or to plainly demonstrate how dumb some Texans are. I married a Texan. My two most successful projects are Texans. I lived for over 20 years in Texas. But you can’t make this stuff up:
As public health experts warn that ICUs in the city might soon be overwhelmed with coronavirus patients, shops and restaurants remain packed.
What Pandemic? Houstonians Party, Shop, and Ice-skate as COVID-19 Surges.

No fireworks today. We’ll have a quiet July 4th, burgers on the grill, potatoes, slaw and some beer.

All statistics are from the Harvard Global Health Institute. See my previous post Do You Live in a Covid-19 Hotspot?
And if you are offended by my comments on your intelligence I don’t care.
It’s not just a millennial problem. Student loan debt increased eightfold among Americans aged 60-64 in the last decade. Is anyone paying attention?

WTF ???
This article is a must read. Bad Asian food is simply bad food.
Why protest? Just don’t eat the stuff.
About half of patients in the U.S. don’t take their medications as prescribed, including patients who have had heart attacks.

I actually started to write something really, really snarky but better judgement prevailed. Why even mention people who discontinue statin use without their physician’s knowledge, have a myocardial infarction and two drug eluting stents all while denying the MI ever occurred and maintaining belief that the second stent was not necessary?
Why write about the Standard offer for life coverage? I was asked to review the medical records for my opinion.
Standard? I think not.
Just a teaspoon of powdered caffeine is equivalent to about 25 cups of coffee.
Sacrificing people for profits. I think I’ll mix some caffeine powder in my energy drink.
Wealthy L.A. Schools’ Vaccination Rates Are as Low as South Sudan’s – The Atlantic.
When actors play doctors on TV, that does not make them actual doctors. And that does not mean they should scour some Internet boards, confront their pediatricians, and demand fewer vaccinations for their children, as some Hollywood parents in Los Angeles have apparently been doing.
The Hollywood Reporter has a great investigation for which it sought the vaccination records of elementary schools all over Los Angeles County. They found that vaccination rates in elite neighborhoods like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills have tanked, and the incidence of whooping cough there has skyrocketed.
I guess these “enlightened” parents know little about community immunity.
You can’t fix stupid.
