Tent Camp for Migrants with COVID in Texas Border City Relocates to Rio Grande

Intense pressure from residents pushed a Texas border city to close down an hours-old campsite built to house migrants with COVID-19. The camp will be moved to county land near the Rio Grande.

The controversy began on Tuesday night when the City of McAllen pitched tents, portable bathrooms, and other facilities in a fenced area near a busy intersection. City crews also placed black tarps on the perimeter fence to obscure outside viewing.

According to the City of McAllen, its commission acted following a disaster declaration and ordered staff “to assist local non-governmental organizations to swiftly expand their operations, including identifying additional locations for emergency shelter should the need arise.”

By Wednesday evening, the City sent out a new statement revealing the camp was in fact for migrants with COVID-19 and they are moving the facility to a county property. According to officials from Hidalgo County, the facility is expected to be moved to Anzalduas Park.

The migrant shelter run by Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley is not affected by the news. That facility has reached capacity due to the current migrant crisis. The NGO is housing migrants with COVID-19 at local hotels and is causing a separate controversy.

I should have clarified: I wonder if the Chinese engineered the virus to become more contagious over time, not more intense. Intense isn’t the right word.

I don't mind going down the conspiracy rabbit hole with the best of them, but I find that highly unlikely. I think the question you need to ask is are these variants really as deadly (or deadlier) than the previous variants... or is that just propaganda to scare more people into getting the shot?

Amateur body language experts: Look at that Bill Gates interview at the very end when Anderson Cooper asks him if form a morale or justice standpoint should we need to find out the origins of the virus. Gates looks up and to the left and starts to scramble a word salad...

DCH Health System staff faces internal COVID-19 vaccination resistance

But it’s not as simple as requiring COVID-19 immunization as a condition of employment, Betz said, because of how strongly some DCH workers feel against taking one of the newly-created vaccines as developed by Phizer-BioNTech, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson.

That, coupled with the ongoing nursing shortage that’s confronting the nation, puts DCH in a difficult position. Since no nearby hospitals, particularly those in Birmingham, are requiring their staffs to be vaccinated, Betz said there is a real fear that DCH would lose employees if it mandated COVID-19 immunizations among its workers.
