    BREAKING: Eight people have been confirmed dead and eight others remain missing at a Kentucky candle factory hit by a tornado. Dozens more have been accounted for, a company spokesman said, raising hope that the toll there won’t be as high as first feared.http://apne.ws/Wdh3DWf

        Unimaginable tragedy to be sure. To put this in perspective though, there are still nearly 1,000 Americans dying each day from Covid. Wear your masks 😷 get the jab 💉 most of these deaths are preventable.

        I’m inclined to agree with you, and based on your tweets we share many of the same opinions, and I’m sure you didn’t mean it this way, but your tweet reads as undermining the tragedy. Commenting on one tragedy about another doesn’t have the same impact. But yes, I’m pro-vaccine!

        Why are they working at 3am? During a night that had severe weather warnings hours before? Greedy profit motive that is why.

        People were not forced to work overtime. From reports from the employees they volunteered to work the overtime shift. In KY if your shift is not scheduled ahead of time you cannot be forced to work it.

        The loss of 8 lives is tragic, however it is better than the 50+ they first imagined.
