Great idea!!!!!

These look beautiful

Once the plague gets in its hard to get out of trapped stale air in the dome.

We can treat you with the disease. Allopathic medical fundamentalists blame civil society for covid-19 creation & spread while promising to spread noxious vaccine elixirs made from exotic animal and chemical ingredients to civil society as covid-19 disease 'management' treatment

Neat idea

Bubble up, it's the law.

How funny,,,,, all that BS and they show a waiter serving food without food prep gloves on,,,,,,,,,,,geeez

I would feel like the dumbest person on earth for being there.

Beautiful

The pandemic has opened our minds to new stunning levels of creativity and innovations.

Vex_Code_Red U have to eat in a dm bubble now.. might as well just stayed home

That seems like a good way to contain the virus. Only people dumb enough to go into the domes will get infected. 🤣😂🤣

The “Turks” :)

That's better then sliced cheese .

Good gimick. But we will not stop anytime soon and its time to accept it and go back to life. Nobody talks about the millions who are dying around the world from everything not Covid-19. And in a yr or so we will know the real facts about deaths due to Covid. Not all are

Ha!

PLEASE LET THIS BE REAL 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Ok, so I'm stuck in the Idiocracy miniseries now. This is what we've become. Instead of shutting down in a coordinated way for EVERYONE for 3 weeks we have this garbage. 'No we need this! We'll test everyone every day promise! And masks are illegal!!!!!!' Blitheringly stupid

👍 Wow! A Democratic leader following science instead of party stupidity? Great to hear! The rest of the world kids went to school months ago and are on now summer break. Are American’s too morbidly obese or our politicians too corrupt to educate our children?🤔

Just like the people in StarBucks, the teachers have to get back to work.

It’s jersey what did you expect

I guess no one wants to learning from Georgia COVID SchoolReopening

Wrong choice sir!!! Doesn’t he see from schools that have already opened that his decision is a disaster waiting to happen?!! Do folks not have common sense anymore?!

NJ bit the bullet and flattened the curve. They deserve the safely restart school. not florida, texas, ga, ark, and CA.

VACATION OVER!!! BACK TO WORK.

He’s a moron, hasn’t Georgia shown us it’s to early

BAD DECISION OPEN VIRTUAL SCHOOLS SAVE LIVES!!! IF YOU CAN OPEN SCHOOLS THEN OPEN GYMS AND INDOOR RESTAURANTS

Good luck with that

Cases still going up but they be like

'the constitution is above my pay grade' Murphy

This is disturbing as hell

no cure for dumb !

Yet people cry about America being bad

I must be extremely blessed. I know around 3,000 people that have tested positive (work in a quarantine center for travelers), and no one has even had a sneeze that tested positive. If I look at New York’s death rate, I should know several people that died.

🙌🏼🏈☀️

Insane people: “Omg we can’t let them play. It won’t be safe!” Big 12: “Ok we are going to make is so it’s safer for them to play than not to play” Insane people: “omg, how come regular people don’t get treated the same? They shouldn’t be allowed to play!”

SHOOT....the media wasent done bashing Trump over this

Three tests per week, this is BS. So many lives have been lost, from lack of leadership. But, making sure sport athletes have weekly Covid-19 tests are top priority. I'm a proud American, but I am totally disgusted how the government, has handled this pandemic. STOP KILLING US!

Too many more interested in Big pharma money than lives. Health.

Any libs that complain about this aren’t really sports fans. They don’t know anything’s about sports and should stfu

I am at high risk, being old & overweight. So where is my free test? Oh ya, I don’t generate millions of dollars for colleges & big businesses.

what could go wrong

WILL THESE ATHELETES GET A PAYCHECK AND COMPENSATION IF THEY CATCH CORONAVIRUS UP TO AND INCLUDING A LIFE TIME OF FREE HEALTH CARE DO THE POTENTIAL FOR LONG TERM EFFECTS FROM COVID-19!? Big12Conference IF NOT THEN 🖕

It’ll fall apart by early October. Tests better used elsewhere. 🤷‍♀️

“Then, those players will go to grocery stores and airports where the employees aren’t given any tests a week, just an ultimatum to work or get fucked” 😃

Wait they are getting 3 tests per week! School districts can’t provide PPE to staff or testing every week, but college football teams get 3 per week.

DeSantis is as Defective as Don-the-Con-Man-in-Chief, Pathetic, Pretend-Pious Pence, & the rest of the Deplorable Minions!

Way to go Gov Ron DeSantis! GovRonDeSantis I’m no fan of red states, but even I didn’t want to see them killed off in the way you made possible.

What America is going to soon relize from all this testing is that the odds of anything serious happening to 99% of Americans does not support the extreems Democrats have imposed on us. But media dishonesty has confused many. But its Democrats who will suffer, truth will prevail.

50,000 new cases EVERY DAY. 1,000 Americans dying EVERY DAY. Still no plan to increase testing from the WH. 😢🥾🤡🇺🇸

“…REPUBLICANS and DEMOCRAT LAWMAKERS OPPOSED THE ARMS DEAL.”

Imagine having common sense about how a virus spreads.
