    You don't need to wear a mask. The corona test is 6" up your nose. If your mouth was so infectious then they would take a swab test. You can pay for a false DNA test the same way and most fools actually believe they're being screened for geneology which whatever, if you need to do that to learn who you are, sucks to be you but good luck anyway but that's beside the point. If people literally believe your ancestry can be traced by a swap of the tongue and that corona is spread by people without a face mask then why the fuck are they going 6" up your nose for?

    If you don't know anybody by now with corona then it's false. Statistics say that you should know somebody. Nobody knows anybody that knows anybody that knows anybody that's got it.

    The only reason people believe in the pandemic is because that's what the media says. End of story.

    If the virus has a conscience, yes. It would target only those people who showed no respect for its virulence by not a wearing a mask or social distancing.

    Reminds me of a short story I read some years back by Clifford D. Simak entitled “Courtesy” in which a planetary expedition is stricken by a strange plague
    which can only be overcome by displaying courtesy to those around you.

    See if you can find a photo of anyone wearing them inside

    The masks were usually made of muslin cloth, the same stuff you use to strain chicken broth, so we're pretty much useless anyway and everyone thought at the time you didn't need to wear them inside as the wind didn't blow inside

    Anyone that wants to have a read:

    Influenza, a study of measures adopted for the control of the epidemic, by Wilfred H. Kellogg.

    Interesting stuff

    If he were an MD, you'd complain that he doesn't have a Ph.D. in health services. He has 36 years of experience in public health. He is a Registered Environmental Health Specialist and former Nebraska Environmental Health Administrator of the Year. Of course there are no peer reviewed studies about infections from the Tulsa rally, cuz it would take at least a year to do the study and several more months to get the study thru the peer review process. He's giving his opinion. Maybe sun spots were responsible. But linkage to the demonstrations and the rally is the most plausible explanation.

    Mr. More Than Likely:
    Are you an artist? A writer? Have you sold or published any works at all? Do you surround yourself with your own work or the work of those who inspire you?

    If it's one thing we've learned in 2020, it's that only fools blindly follow experts.

    Oh, well that settles it!
    He's infallible, I tell you!
    Just a pure logic machine loaded with raw unmanipulated data armed to calculate a precision... uh, opinion???
    A plausible explanation?
    Around here we call that a SWAG.
    Geeze...
    I got a plausible explanation myself. He was bullied, it hurt his delicate feelings, and now Trump scares him because the strong no-nonsense personality reminds him of his bully. Poor thing.
    And anybody can say what he said with the same degree of certainty.
    Anybody.
    Even you.
    You could say it yourself with no backing from anybody and be equally credible.
    Imagine what you could do with some training in a field that requires critical thinking!

    As the article states "It's a sad, cautionary tale of willful ignorance and hubris, Karen Kolb Sehlke a Trump-loving woman from Texas is dead from COVID-19
    after claiming the virus was a “media driven” hoax “controlled by the radical people in powerful places"

    May She Rest In Ignorance

    It does seem odd going so far up the nose... Maybe that's just previously developed protocol for virus testing?

    I don't know anybody personally who's been confirmed to have had it. There's been the odd illness with unexplained fever and throat irritation that got better. But I believe it's a real virus that's really finishing people off. Yes, the media has hyped and sensationalized the shit out of it, that's what gets them clicks, views, ratings, and advertising revenue. Plus the majority are in the pocket of democrats, thus driven to make their people look better by making the opposition look worse.

    --What am I supposed to do with 400 ventilators? There'll be 20,000 people I'll have to turn away...--

    Yeah.

    Like the president, I don't believe the virus itself is a hoax, but can clearly see all the predicting, the pandering and the jabbing, and the reporting as a hoax. Hell, why do they keep showing only the total number who have reportedly got it, a continually increasing number?? If they were interested in informing us, they'd tell us the current number of active unresolved cases, by area!! But no, we're just a stupid public and we can't handle the complexity of it. Just do what we say and all will be okay...

    People just cant seem to see the true situation, simply because they do not see the facts.
    Every day in the UK, 1,500 people die, half of them alone are cancer sufferers who's life ends when they catch a virus.
    We all worry about covid 19, but it is not that simple. This pandemic may well change how people think of death forever.

    Better make that 138,271

    I thought this was a hoax’: Man, 30, dies after Texas ‘COVID party’

    A 30-year-old man has died of COVID-19 after attending a party meant to prove the coronavirus was a hoax,
    according to a hospital official in Texas.

    The so-called "COVID party" was held to put several healthy people in the same room as a person who had tested positive for the virus,
    according to Dr. Jane Appleby, chief medical officer at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio.

    She shared the story in a video testimonial on Friday in hopes of providing some "real-world examples"
    to help people understand the serious threat posed by the pandemic.

    Appleby says the patient shared his regret with a nurse shortly before he died.

    "I think I made a mistake," the patient said, according to Appleby. "I thought this was a hoax, but it's not."
