You didn't answer the question responsively.


Again, how many people do you know as of today that are actually sick with Covid19?

I live near the first few diagnosed cases and in an area that was hit very hard. Many have recovered and new cases are minimal at this time. FYI, people get tested frequently and often. Now people are going back to their doctors and finding out there is long term damage to their bodies. Notably the heart. Many are starting to take medication and scared that they have shortened their life expectancy.
Some friends have decided to retire early to “enjoy the time They have left”. That sounds dramatic even to me but no one doubts that it has profoundly influenced their lives.

One just died last week after a loooong hospitalization so I guess that doesn’t count. Does it count if it is a chronic condition caused by covid?
I know Of people in LA but they are my Adult children’s Circle, not mine.

Limiting your exposures to viruses and other diseases weakens your immune system. Wearing a mask or using sanitizer or isolating yourself does this - it reduces your exposure to viruses of all kinds, and over time your immune system decays.

Around 50% of individuals in one study were shown to have prior immunity to SARS-CoV-2. They found this by analyzing blood taken from individuals from 2015-2018. The only reason they would have prior immunity is due to exposure to similar viruses in the coronavirus family.

So wearing a mask may reduce transmission of diseases, it also weakens your immune system if done obsessively. When you get sick, it will be worse.

It makes sense for health care workers who are in a highly contagious environment, people who are vulnerable, and otherwise people who are feeling sick, to wear a mask when in public. For everyone else, no.
The amount of reaching in your post is so ridiculously far reaching that you'd have to combine Inspector Gadget with Stretch Armstrong to reach as far as you're reaching.

You got any actual links to back up the claims you're making?

...because masks do not impair your immune system. You're being absolutely absurd and I can't wait to utterly destroy the "sources" you inevitably don't link.

That clearly means that this is all a hoax.

How many goal posts have you moved today? How many lies have you told today?

And you know the funny thing? I talk to relatives all over the country, even in supposed 'hot spots', and they either say the same thing, or maybe know 1 or 2 people.


And I don't live in a sparsely populated neighborhood. And I have a very large circle of relatives and friends.
Haha. Do you understand what anecdotal evidence is and why it's generally disregarded?

LOL.

"I've never seen it, therefore it must not be real."

I've never watched a real Italian make pizza. Therefore, no Italian, anywhere, has ever made pizza.

This is the same question you keep asking people. This is the same question you keep moving the goal posts on when you get an answer that doesn't support your false narrative.

You are intentionally intellectually dishonest and I hope everyone gets to see you doing it.

I don't know anyone personally who ate a sandwich today, therefore no one on earth has eaten a sandwich today
