The death numbers are erroneous and inflated. Incredibly inflated.

The most basic of research shows that.

The most basic of research also shows those "authorities" you still take at their word, had literally no clue what they were doing.
Ok, I truly give up on you guys. Just get off my case and let me wear a mask in peace. I’m not harming you so just leave me alone.

Thank you and have a nice rest of the weekend!

Look at the trend of NY’s case numbers in March 2020 through August 2020. We went from the highest positivity rate in the country to the lowest in a few months.

I just found out an aunt of mine in Northern California had COVID last week. But currently I don't know anyone with a recent case of COVID in NY.

Just remember if you go to a restaurant, masks only work when you're standing or traveling to and from the restroom.

If you happen to sit at a table, they no longer serve a purpose.

I believe it's because restaurants have magical invisible objects COVID can't bend around, which act as a Harry Potter type barrier to the virus as long as your nostrils are between 12"-48" from base of the floor. But all bets are off once your nostrils are exposed to the 49"+ contamination zone. Hence the masking to and from the table while you dodge and navigate terror!

Unless you're a celeb at the MET Gala or attend an Obama BBQ. In which case you were born with a genetic forcefield COVID can't penetrate even in the 49"+ contamination zone!

Good luck in these treacherous times.

What is the purpose of this comment? Covid and flu are two different viruses and can be diagnosed with specific tests. Covid is not being called flu and flu is not being called covid. Doctors can tell the difference.

Proving that the lockdowns worked. That is why NY dropped down to the lowest positivity rate.

I understand it was hard on people who owned these businesses, but come on! You have to look at how many people’s lives we saved! Can you imagine the catastrophe that would’ve happened had NY not locked down the way it did?
