    I wasn't implying that at all. I was just explaining the reason that the lockdown isn't effective.

    I am far from a heartless individual. I feel for everyone my friend.

        I'm not sure (and not an expert) that Cali is much different from Texas in teh number of migrants living like that.

          I'm sure social scientists are studying things. It will be interesting to hear what they observe.

                I've honestly never thought about the migrant work/field work population that is in Texas. Usually it is driven by agriculture, and I'll come off like a dolt, but I am not sure of how much that goes on there.

                I know here in the Central Valley where I live in California, I would venture that our numbers are higher than most areas because of the dense populace of field work. There is a bunch.

                And I feel for these folks. They are in a lose/lose situation.

                    Thanks my man. I'm glad to hear that your mother is doing well, and I hope you get seen and get better yourself.

                      The LA unified school district provides free COVID testing for their students. As of this past weekend 33% of tests from low income schools is coming back positive. Tests from affluent schools are coming back 4% positive. That should tell you a ton about who is getting sick and why they are getting sick.

                        They're getting sick because they're poor. They should choose to be rich so they don't get sick.

                              Been hearing from some of my friends in Navajo Nation how bad the covid has been for them. 869 deaths out of 173,000 who live on the reservation. That's 1:200.

                                So, you know those people in the "Deep State" who rigged the presidential election by manipulating millions of votes using intricate planning and precise coordination across multiple states, with no traceable communications or evidence, all within a very tight timeframe?

                                Why can't we put those people in charge of the vaccine rollout and distribution?
                                They seem amazingly competent.

                                We could double whatever Biden & Satan paid them.
