Coronavirus

Got onto an elevator with a middle aged, cloth-mask wearing, very fat, woman.

When she saw I wasn't wearing a mask, she sighed very loudly and waddled off the elevator.

She dramatically shook her head after she got off. How dare I not wear a cloth mask like her.

Someone should tell her the research shows cloth masks put her at a greater risk of respiratory infections and her morbid obesity is the greatest risk of COVID-19 mortality.

Not masks.
Not social distancing.
Not lockdowns.
Not border closures.

All of which have been shown to be ineffective (not statistical significance compared to doing nothing), with peer reviewed, results duplicated, published, science.

I wonder how many people have fallen for the pseudo-science of mask wearing to stop the spread of the coronavirus? Enough people have that they, in ignorant self-righteous indignation, think they need to judge and lecture others on mask wearing and social distancing - neither of which are effective means to stopping the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

You're confusing catching it and what you do when you have caught it DDM.

"Because a lot people will have this and it's very mild. They'll get better very rapidly. They don't even see a doctor. They don't even call a doctor," Trump said.

"You never hear about those people. So you can't put them down in the category of the overall population in terms of this corona flu and — or virus. So you just can't do that," he continued. "So if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work but they get better."

But also

"Grisham told reporters aboard Air Force One the trip was back on after the brief cancellation. She said the visit was canceled "out of an abundance of caution" after the CDC alerted the White House a CDC staff member was suspected to have contracted coronavirus."

And

"I would prefer going...now that the test came out negative,"

One thing the this pandemic is really showing what every sensible person already knew since at least 2016, Trump is not emotionally, mentally or temperamentally fit to be POTUS. We've gone from "This is their new hoax", "we have this contained", "in a few days we'll have zero cases" to national emergency measures in less than three weeks.

Obama tried to warn you people, but you wouldn't listen:

“I think what’ll happen with the president-elect is there are gonna be certain elements of [b]his temperament that will not serve him well unless he recognizes them and corrects them.

Because when you’re a candidate and you say something that is inaccurate or controversial, it has less impact than it does when you’re president of the United States.

Everybody around the world’s paying attention. Markets move. National security issues require a level of precision in order to make sure that you don’t make mistakes.” -Obama 2016 [/B]

Pastor John Hagee, who believes homosexuality causes hurricanes, has COVID-19.

Yet we're at over 200,000 deaths. It's almost like that number doesn't matter as much if we don't have some kind of immunity to the disease and just keep getting it over and over or allow it to spread uncontrolled like we have.

I can post some babylon bee articles for you to fact check as well.

Though I wouldn't wanna derive snopes of the pleasure.

Yes, you pointed out the problem with the south park meme. Understood.

I'm just pointing out the statistical problem with using that number to mean only 00.02% of the population will die from this virus. Considering we've already breached that number by 2.5 times at this point in terms U.S of US population.

The one you posted to make a point 😬

The point being the vast majority would live, you knew that but you nitpicked anyways.

Nice.

It's not like the correct number would suggest some impending doom. It would still suggest an absolutely miniscule amount of the population will die.

We're estimated to hit as high as 410,000 by January first for Covid Deaths. With most people believing we will definitely fall within the 300,000 range.

That doesn't seem that miniscule especially considering how much we had to do to get it that controlled even through our bumbling.
