Once you get over some of the issues why some people couldn’t wear one, no one can explain why wearing one is such a traumatic event, especially compared to a number of things you already put up with in normal life. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

That's the death rate if we don't do anything. Right?

We can save a lot more lives than that by making the maximum speed on all highways 40 MPH and modify vehicles so they can go no faster. By your logic we should do that.

First, make a list of all the pros and cons of wearing a mask vs a list of all the pros and cons of having everyone drive 40 mph. Then see how many people who are convinced by your point. Good lick, ‘cause you’ll need it.

An article in our local paper today said that they were no longer going to publish the daily statistics on how many people got Covid. This county had the highest percentage in the state compared to other county's, probably due to the highest percentage of residents over 60 years of age? That and many refusing to vax? But here we are, hard to get the stats.

To be fair, all disease is still a concern if you are old or have several medical issues. Nothing really ends with or without a pandemic.

You have a local paper?
How quaint
Why not have the county or state health dept put the stats on a website
Or does that make too much sense

I don't think the medical community know how viruses behave.

There are some that believe a virus is bad and can be transmitted from being to being.

It could be viruses originate in our own body and protect us by trying to destroy what has invaded our body, quite the opposite of what is generally believed.

So if we are measured as having a virus due to anti-bodies present, that could be our immune system trying to protect itself by creating the virus within our own body.

I don't think it has been proven that a specific virus has been transferred from one body to another.

It could be both bodies created the same virus.

Please tell us you don’t believe a word you wrote!!!!

You think we are all making our own coronaviruses and they are not transmitted from one person to another?
