    One thing that you hear more of is young people getting it, working their way through it but suffering organ damage lung and heart. Covid19 is like playing Russian Roulette!

    Went into Tom Thumb to get a soda. Only myself, the clerks and ONE other person was wearing a mask. None of the other good ole boys had one on. Enjoy your COVID 19 guys.
