- Texas doctors rank activities posing greatest risks for contracting coronavirus – among the most conceited and ridiculous things yet from the liberals at TMA. Listener and M.D., Boyd wrote: “I caught your comment about medical opinion vs. medical fact. I’m a doctor, and it frustrates me when an organization like the TMA (Texas Medical Association) puts out that graphic about activities and the varying risks for COVID. There are no scientific studies to prove that tennis is more dangerous than golf for COVID transmission. Or swimming is more dangerous than both. Eating next to someone outside is safer than eating next to someone inside. Where is the study to show that? It is stupidity hiding under expert opinion.”
