| Coronavirus kills Ohio Army vet who refused to wear face mask | ||
| 2020-07-16 | ||
| [FoxNews] The coronavirus has claimed the life of an Ohio Army veteran who said before his death on Facebook that he refused to wear a face mask. Richard Rose III, 37, of Port Clinton, died on July 4 of complications related to the novel coronavirus, according to an online obituary. His death comes after his April 28 post where Rose said he refused to purchase a face mask amid the pandemic despite expert recommendations to do so. “Let [me] make this clear,” Rose wrote. “I’m not buying a f—ing mask. I’ve made it this far by not buying into that damn hype.”
“He enjoyed social media, online streaming, paranormal and his two cats Dale and Tucker. He was a fan of NASCAR, Dirt Track Racing, and Georgia Bulldogs Football,” it reads. | ||

| #25 Aseptic techniques work for you foreigners too. Frankly, I don’t really give a shit what other countries do. Go hide under your bed for the rest of your life for all I care. Just don’t expect me to. |

| #24 Let me see. Israel, Australia, & India (among many others) reimposing lock-downs - part of the conspiracy to overthrow Trump? |

| #22 ^Look genius - there is a world outside United States. Why don't you pool your head from the sand and look at it? |

| #21 No, Grom. The lockdown is not the only answer. It wasn’t an answer at all. It did nothing except for it’s one intended effect. Kill the economy. Leave Trump dead in the water on the one thing absolutely everyone agreed on or at least could not dispute about him. The economy was great. The answer is to do what we’ve always done for these types of infections. Sanitize things, wash hands regularly, don’t pick your nose-rub eyes-suck thumbs, cough/sneeze into your shirt or elbow. If you are sick, stay home. If you absolutely have to go out while sick, wear a mask. They do help a little in hindering the droplets expelled when coughing/sneezing. Otherwise go about your life. And let others go about theirs. We can’t be asked to never catch a cold or the flu ever again. We can’t be asked to never ever contract Corona. If it was really that bad then there would be no exceptions to the mandates. Protesting to go back to work and reopen businesses? Evil. Pure Evil. blm/antifa rioters and insurrectionists? Noble and just. Corona isn’t Ebola. It’s a disease that 99.9% have to be tested to find out if they’ve even had it. Yes there are deaths from it. But we can’t trust that every one was because of it. We can’t trust any of the “Experts.” I doubt we will ever again. Too many agendas to push. If you wish to wear a mask at all times, that’s perfectly fine with me. But don’t drop your groceries and point at me like Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers because I’m not wearing one. |

| #20 Practically Everyone under 50 is low risk. Certainly Lower risk than being compulsorily unemployed by state mandate in the medium to long term. |

| #19 I wish they gave half as much attention to Grandma Killer Cuomo as they do to people who flaunt their opposition to guidance or boast about how brave and "immune" they are. |

| #18 FUD I'm sure no one anywhere died *despite* wearing a mask. |

| #17 Yes. |

| #14 Lock down the high risk, let the rest of live in peace. |

| #13 ^So, the lock-down is the only viable option? |

| #12 Yes, Skid. The mask protects the patient from the surgeon. When doctors are worried about contamination from the patient, they wear higher levels of PPE like a face shield and goggles. And they don’t touch their masks ever. Everyone walking around with their masks on are constantly touching, pulling, adjusting their masks. Ripe for increasing contamination from hands to mask and from mask to other surfaces. I’d argue that millions of untrained and undisciplined people wearing marginally effective at best masks actually increases the spread. |

| #11 In my experience the mask is intended to prevent the wearer from sharing rather than filtering the intake. |

| #10 I'd rather it was later. |

| #9 It's all about the odds. Wearing a mask slants the odds in your favor, but there are no guarantees, other than sooner or later, something will kill you. |

| #8 Wearing a mask probably wouldn't have protected him Any articles of those who DO wear masks dying? Be interesting to find some for balance but knowing the MSM, you won't see them. |

| #5 In Ohio mask wearing is about 50-50. Chances are pretty good someone who wore a mask gave him the virus. The CDC doesn't recommend masks or 6' social distancing anyway. The cloth many people us to cover their face is ineffective anyway. Paper masks are useless. (r), it's sad you wish death on others who don't see things the way you do. You post it nearly daily. |

| #4 It’s not clear if Rose suffered from any underlying health issues. but we will dig through his social media, find a statement he made and then insinuate that is the reason he died. |

| #3 Safer BernardZ. A lot safer. Think of it like driving. Even if you adhere to all the rules, you may still be involved in an accident. |
| Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2020-07-16 06:55 |
| #2 So are you saying that everyone that wears a mask is safe from COVID-19? |

| #1 Hope he didn't infect his family or friends before going. |
