This is the Tom Hartman program.

This is amazing.

A new study out that just recently published, it has not yet been peer-reviewed, but it's

a pre-publication public health experts at the University of Kentucky.

They looked at Texas specifically because back in November before people were being vaccinated,

the Governor Greg Abbott opened all the public schools in Texas.

And all of them were supposed to be open for the fall semester at near full capacity.

And the estimate that they came up with looking at what happened as a consequence of that,

and they were using cell phone data as well to watch people move it around and watch

the change in Texas when the public schools opened in how mobile people became.

And their estimate is that roughly as a result of this one single order by this one single

governor in this one single state, Greg Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas, 43,000

Texans got COVID-19 and 800 of them died.

As a result of his order to open the schools before it was safe to open the schools.

I mean, the Republican Party has been run by stupid.

There's a new COVID variant.

It's called B1.672, B16172, and it is out of India.
