BIG SPRING, TX – The City of Big Spring has confirmed two new cases of coronavirus.

... of this Veterans State Home. Just curious if these are "True" confirmed cases of the virus? There are news articles that a lot of the test used for the virus have proven to be "tainted" with the virus. So ... it peaks my curiosity... that those two test that were used ... were "Good" or "Tainted"?? Who knows for sure?? It seems that since the State along with the rest of the Country is lifting restrictions... that we are starting to get reports of some testing positive for this virus! Who ... knows??? I don't know... some things about this entire situation... don't make sense! Is it all just a big controversy or is it the Truth?? Who knows? Somebody knows ... and the actual truth won't come to light until all Countries involved are on the verge of total economic collapse!

The entire world has entered the " Twilight Zone! Where's Rod Sterling??
