Covid is behind some folks relocating. Just not the kind of relocating that Chambers of Commerce brag about.

Fired Tennessee vaccinations director planning to leave state

The husband of Tennessee’s former vaccinations director says they are planning to move out of the state this fall amid growing tension over efforts to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.

Their move to northern Virginia was in the works before a contentious school board meeting that he took part in Tuesday to discuss mask mandates, Brad Fiscus told WPLN-FM.

Fiscus is a school board member in Williamson County, where protesters held signs with messages saying, “I will not let you muzzle my child,” and “My child, my choice.” Some had to be escorted out by law enforcement. The county is just south of Nashville.

Virginia's Covid numbers, from the same source -

Tennessee has fewer folks than Virginia does, but has more deaths from Covid.

From the Census Bureau -

There are probably folks in Tennessee who are rejoicing over their ability to drive smart folks out of TN and into other states.

There are probably folks in Virginia who are rejoicing over the same thing.

1. Wear a damn mask.

2. Get vaccinated.
