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

#2 So are you saying that everyone that wears a mask is safe from COVID-19?

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

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

#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.

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

#18 FUD

I'm sure no one anywhere died *despite* wearing a mask.

#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.

#20 Practically Everyone under 50 is low risk.

Certainly Lower risk than being compulsorily unemployed by state mandate in the medium to long term.

#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.

Israel, Australia, & India (among many others) reimposing lock-downs - part of the conspiracy to overthrow Trump?

#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.
