Clay compared covid to Michael Myers from the old school Halloween movies. You think it’s dead but it keeps coming back. Covid is the villain who keeps coming back.
A great example happened this weekend at the College World Series. NC State isn’t allowed to play because four of their players, who are young and healthy tested positive. Their dream of winning the college World Series is out the window, even though there are over 20,000 people — including Clay’s wife and sons — showing up to watch these games in Omaha, Nebraska — with no restrictions.
And in another jaw-dropping decision, the president of Make-A-Wish announced that children who hadn’t been vaccinated for covid wouldn’t be allowed to participate in the Make-A-Wish program. These are kids who are facing death! There was such immediate backlash that Make-A-Wish pulled back, but for all the parents out there, the new battleground has moved on from adults making decisions about whether or not to get vaccinated yourself to vaccines for children.
Clay summed it up for most of us: “People out there who’ve been fighting this battle to open up states for a year and a half now are tired, weary. And the coronabro population — and I call ’em coronabros because they want to define our entire universe based entirely on this virus — they’re still pretty powerful.”
