DALLAS (KXAN) — A Dallas man who hosted family members in June, under the thought COVID-19 was a hoax, now regrets that after one member died and 13 others tested positive for the virus, with one on life support.

According the a report by NBC, Tony Green invited his partner’s parents over to his house for a party June 13. Green admitted no one wore masks, as he thought “the mainstream media and the Democrats were using it [COVID-19} to create panic, crash the economy and destroy Trump’s chances at re-election.”

The next day, Green felt sick. Two days later, his partner of nine years and parents felt sick. However, his partner’s parents, whom Green considers his in-laws even though he and his partner aren’t married, still went to Austin for the birth of their first grandchild, the report says.

Two other family members went to Austin with the in-laws. Both got sick. The parents of the newborn also got sick. The newborn didn’t, Green said.

Everyone tested positive for coronavirus, Green said. He and his father-in-law, Rafael Ceja, were admitted to a hospital June 24, and then Ceja’s mother was admitted to the same hospital later on. She was one of the family members who traveled from Dallas to Austin with Green’s in-laws.

The mother died of COVID-19 complications on July 2, Green said. She was in the room next to her son, and her son didn’t even know she was there. Ceja learned later that day she died, Green said. Only 10 family members could attend her funeral two days later, Green said.

Ceja is still on life support as of July 27, according to a GoFundMe page that Green set up.

Two of Ceja’s sisters, one of his nephews and a brother-in-law had all contracted the virus bringing the total number of infected family members to 14, Green said.

Twelve family members have either recovered or are in various stages of recovery, Green said.

“I cannot help but feel responsible for convincing our families it was safe to have a get-together,” Green told NBC News in a phone interview. “There’s a lot of things that I would have done differently.”

The christian school's faculty where my sister teaches in Texas voted to reopen the school in the fall and not wear masks because the masks would scare the kids.  Also, there's a lot of construction going on so there will be a bunch of workers roaming around as well.  I told her she may want to quit teaching there if she values life.  She's a both sideser.

Thoroughly shameful.  They willingly chose to let people die because they were hoping it would fuck up the "blue" states.  Criminal.  And unfortunately, that is not just their mentality but the mentality of every Trumpkin out there.   This is why I personally don't give one flying fuck about those stories with the "Trump supporter admits they were wrong on their deathbed or after their family died" themes.  Fuck them.  Its still "the wrong people are being hurt" mentality over and over.  

I guess I'm being hypocritical because I'm in danger of developing a similar mentality about them.

Wisconsin's Democratic governor issued a statewide indoor mask mandate yesterday.

The (insanely gerrymandered) Republican-dominated state legislature hasn't passed a bill since April 15 (despite ya know, a global pandemic, Depression-level unemployment, etc.) but now they suddenly want to meet to try and block the order through legislation. Previously, the only action they took was to sue Gov Evers' stay-at-home order, which was struck down by what has become their pet Supreme Court. (A new Supreme Court justice, a Democrat who won by a wide margin in April, will be sworn in on Monday.)

Scalise was more polite, yet equally offensive in his courtroom tactics where he asked Fauci a bunch of questions where Fauci had to admit that what Trump DID do were good decisions.

RE: Kodak getting a shitpot full of money to reinvent themselves in the Age of Covid, and who benefited financially:

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/31/business/kodak-ceo-stock-options.html

 

Quote

At the beginning of this week, the Eastman Kodak Company handed its chief executive 1.75 million stock options.

It was the type of compensation decision that generally wouldn’t attract much notice, except for one thing: The day after the stock options were granted, the White House announced that the company would receive a $765 million federal loan to produce ingredients to make pharmaceuticals in the United States.

 

Quote

The news of the deal caused Kodak’s shares to soar more than 1,000 percent. Within 48 hours of the options grants, their value had ballooned, at least on paper, to about $50 million.

The government loan is part of a broader federal effort to increase the country’s ability to respond to the coronavirus and future pandemics.
