Poetic Justice
A Texas Congressman who vowed not to wear a mask -- and didn't -- has tested positive for COVID-19. It serves him right but what good is that to thousands of voters who followed his example? Politicians, whether they like it or not, have a leadership role. That he refused to wear a mask jeopardized more than his colleagues in the House. It is all so unnecessary. The medical guidelines emphasized the use of masks and social distancing. Politicizing the rules with eyes on likeminded voters was dumb. He might get reelected but he also might lose some of them through death by virus. The myth of Texas has been exploded in the pandemic.
