re: #21 Hecuba’s daughter

What is truly terrifying is that this is reminiscent of the second wave in 1918: the disease struck the young (young adults — not necessarily this young) and took many in a day. We are not prepared for a variant that moves so quickly. This may be a fluke rather than a harbinger — perhaps this child was particularly susceptible for some undetermined reason.

That girl is dead, in part, because of the inaction by Greg Abbott.
