Explain what medical history checks were made before loading these people on the bus, and how thorough they are.
What exact thing did this kid die of? You must know to make such an absolute statement about a pre-existing condition. What do you know about this child that you can be so sure they were going to die regardless?
Finally, why is it you seem more concerned with defending Abbott than you are that a child died at all?
Article didn't say.
And yet you're speaking as if you know definitively. Why is that?
If it's not because you know for sure, it seems like it's because this is the outcome you prefer: dead migrants and migrant children.
I would not call this sufficient testing, but again, there is only so much that can be done and this sort of transport should not even be occurring. I however do know the process in and out.
Having said that, the process is that before letting them on the bus, TDEM does a temperature check for COVID or other ILI symptoms, and also ask the adults if they have any symptoms. There is also a medical review that CBP does prior to even having that release from time in custody.
Once on the bus, there is the driver, and the security guard, neither of which have medical responsibility.
Source: I know the person that created this process very well.
How many times have you punched them in the face for being a monster? Because if it's less than one, you're complicit.
We moved away from Texas and that job due to exactly this actually. Put principle ahead of anything else.
