Houston Health reported Monday that the COVID-19 14-day positivity rate has jumped from 6.1% last week to 8.1% this week. They still call it “low,” which boggles the mind since infections are probably higher and deaths continue, but at least they are promoting testing and vaccination. Not that the needle is moving on vaccinations.
Among the popular folks that are reporting they tested positive is Congresswoman SJL. I wish her a speedy recovery. Whenever I see her, she is masked up while working a crowd or an event giving out baby formula. Unfortunately, and as Dr. Hotez recently attested, these new variants will catch you when you are not being careful.
Anyway, N-95, KN-95, and KF94 masks are accessible and affordable at the moment. Stock up and wear them in stores, workplaces, and crowded areas. Stay out of crowds, if possible. And order your next round of Biden COVID-19 tests so you can get ahead of it if you indeed get sick.
All levels of government aren’t doing much in Texas and even local leaders seem to continue jumping into COVID spit clouds at events, so, those of us who really don’t want to get sick are on our own.
