A coworker went to Texas for her husband's job interview -- "No masks anywhere!" she gushed.
Shopping malls open. Restaurants packed. "It's like 2019 there!"
Her husband's been in bed for five full days now, headaches, bodyaches, nausea, fatigue. They can't find a rapid test at the CVS.
He's double-vaxxed, no booster, his company requires it. But she's not. Mentioned Facebook as the reason. No symptoms yet --
But the two little girls, 2 and 4, went right back to their private Christian daycare when they returned.
Flying back to California she felt the heaviness of the oppressive mask mandate return --
They're taking the job. Everything's cheaper in Texas, she says.
Like life, apparently.
