That’s the best she’s got? Seriously? What a waste of time for the people

[Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn]

Americans need to know the origins of COVID-19.

[Phil Williams @PhilNvestigates]

WOW! In Rutherford County (TN), more than **1,000** students are #COVID19 positive, more than **10,000** were quarantined at least one day last week.

[Bill Frist, M.D. @bfrist]

TN now is #1 in U.S. for daily new #Covid cases per population. If we were an independent nation, we would be #2 for new Covid cases in the world. This week, TN reached highest level of hospitalizations from the virus yet. Our TN elected leadership must NOW step up & take action.

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

Absolutely unconscionable.

[Phil Williams @PhilNvestigates]

Children now make up nearly 40% of Tennessee's new COVID-19 cases, analysis shows https://t.co/zWi3DSy1Ua

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

Tennesseans elected him and far too many are dying by his decisions. This is a sad, sad situation. #TNGovBillLee #TNChildrenDying

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Q: “Hospitals preparing to run out of resources…. 11 school districts closed… US Ed Dept launched a civil rights investigation… any plans to take back your (mask mandate ban)?”

@GovBillLee: “We have no plans to change our strategy.” 😷 😳

@VZWSupport The iPhone setting "Silence Junk Callers" does not work! Calls identified by Verizon as "Potential spam" are NOT silenced & sent to voicemail as stated. Same for blatantly fraudulent calls. Why?

[Phil Williams @PhilNvestigates]

GET THIS! Tennessee is facing an unprecedented surge of the Delta variant, and the @TNDeptofHealth has not tweeted a single recommendation to wear a mask since April 15th. That's *** 127 *** days without guidance that the federal public health authorities say is key! #COVID19

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

@24baseballReed @TheTNHoller @GovBillLee More like an “effective vehicle” than an “attempt.”

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

@Caniwi2015 @hooper_hirst @OccupyDemocrats … and to move public schools’ tax dollars to religious & other private schools.

[Phil Williams @PhilNvestigates]

Just over the border, a governor who doesn’t believe #COVID19 is just “an adult problem.”

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

@NC5PhilWilliams @GovBillLee How long before teachers quit and parents yank students from public schools demanding their tax dollars go with them? The GOP will do anything to divert tax dollars to religious & for-profit schools. #HowtoKillPublicSchools #PublicSchoolsAtRisk #CovidInSchools #TNGovBillLee

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

Your goal of forcing closure of public schools & diverting tax dollars to private schools continues. Sadly you’re now putting the health & lives of students, teachers & the general public at severe risk to accomplish your pompous goal. Unbelievable! #TNGov #TNSchools #COVID19

[Gov. Bill Lee @GovBillLee]

Districts will make the decisions they believe are best for their schools, but parents are THE authority & will be the ultimate decision-makers for their individual child’s health & well-being.

I will not be calling a special session at this time.

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

@ChrisDavisMMJ @NC5PhilWilliams @NC5 That’s Sumner Regional in Gallatin. Is the situation as dire at TriStar Hendersonville Hospital? Where are Sumner County’s patients being diverted? #TNHospitals #COVID19

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

@NC5 Does it matter whether our booster shot is the same brand as our original 2-dose sequence?

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

True perspective…

[Phil Williams @PhilNvestigates]

Tennesseans who died in World War II: 5,731
Tennesseans killed by #COVID19 so far: 12,812

@JoAnnDonnelly7 @NissanStadium @garthbrooks Do you want the city to shut down again? Superspreader events affect everyone. Covid’s variant is already on the rise here.

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

@NissanStadium @garthbrooks Masks and proof of vaccination should have been required and should be required for entry to the rescheduled concert! #CovidIsNotOver #GarthBrooksSuperSpreader

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

Garth should’ve required masks AND proof of vaccinations. What a missed opportunity! #GarthBrooksCovidTour

[Tennessean @Tennessean]

After storms canceled Saturday's show, organizers considered putting it on Sunday night but staffing and logistics forced them to reschedule for a to-be-determined date. https://t.co/eQlpet2FVX

[Vol Reporter @volreport]

@Chopper5news Why don’t you provide commuter traffic times for Goodlettsville, Hendersonville and other points north up I-65? Thousands of commuters & lots of backups along this route!
