Article exposing the false narrative of overrun hospitals.
In other (non-fake) news Texas just reported record number of Covid hospitalizations exceeding the July numbers. Correspondingly multiple locations are running very short on ICU beds.

So I will do so.

Stillwater, OK, pop. 50,299 mask mandate since last July: Deaths associated with COVID-19: 13.

Claremore, OK, pop. 18,743, no mask mandate until Dec. 20: Deaths associated with COVID-19: 67.
Again, that still proves nothing.

Town with smaller population and no mask mandate has more deaths. You do not think that is potentially significant?

It’s not science. Well maybe it is for someone with a religious belief that cloth masks work.

Looks like evidence for masks working to me.

Yeah. It’s not.

It is certainly not evidence against it.

My girlfriend thinks masks are a fashion accessory. She wants me to take pictures of all her new masks with her matching outfits so she can show them off on social media. How can I discourage this?

Sorry but you’re not going to catch Covid by simply walking by someone on a road outside. You need significant exposure and that is not it. Anyway ...
That depends doesn't it. The virus survives longer in cold dry climates, and it has mutated with faster transmission in several countries including South Africa, Nigeria, UK, France, Canada, Japan. Italy is probably just late to the table. USA is probably hiding facts, same with China.

In freezing temperatures, virus transmission is higher than in warm humid temperatures.

Come on folks - get your poop together and understand that although it's painful, the fast we suck it up the sooner it is gone.

Of course! If the mask doesn't match the socks, failure!
