    It’d be nice if the anti-maskers could be tracked and given lowest priority for care if and when they contract COVID=19. (And perhaps manslaughter charges if they refuse to wear a mask and contact tracing can demonstrate that they most likely passed the disease on to somebody was killed by it?)

    If you don’t want to wear a mask, fine, just don’t exhale or sneeze.

    Who cares about this jerk? It’s the 912 others that he infected.

    Mask it or casket. Their choice. And it’s not like those people would let women have choice.

    Thanks to right wing ignorance and stupidity bio-terrorist Trump has spread covid all around the country. You should compare a covid map of Canada to the USA, they look clean compared to us. By the way, Canada closed its border to the USA.

    Professional athletes will be tested every 2 days.

    How often will every student be tested?

    The 2nd wave of COVID here in Cali. has brought about a MUCH higher use of masks. We seem to be taking this round much more seriously. Not me though still haven’t worn one but I do carry a N-95 with me when I’m out.

    No way they would let stupidhead wear the highly contaminated shirt after admission, unless he were in a ward with like-minded idiots, struggling to breathe, or dying of organ failure.

    Larry Brilliant: A hundred days ago we didn’t really understand the pathophysiology—the way the virus and the human body interact, the illness as opposed to the epidemic. The unexpected things that it’s doing are not epidemiological—they are virological. In March, we were just beginning to see these horrific CT scans or x-rays of people with ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome, where they had these big circles of holes in their lungs, and we were thinking this is pretty much a respiratory disease. Since then we have learned that this virus attacks almost every organ in the body. The joke is that it’s from nose to toes, because you lose your sense of smell and you can get “Covid toes,” the swelling of your toes and your fingers that look like frostbite. There is still a lack of clarity on how it chooses entry points in the cells.

    Larry Brilliant again:

    So now we can begin to understand that this virus attacks the circulatory system, it attacks the vascular and nervous systems, it attacks the respiratory system, it attacks our ability to bring in oxygen. That’s why people can go to the hospital and be on their phone, not in any respiratory distress, but have oxygen saturation in the 50s, which in the old days we’d think of as you’re near death. It also makes you understand why you can get these Covid toes, why you can lose your sense of taste or smell, why you can have a stroke. This virus attacks blood vessels, it creates blood clots. That is probably one of the reasons why it causes strokes. We have a very large number of deaths due to kidney failure, and we are having terrible results from the ventilators that we were so obsessed about early on, though lately it’s looking a little better, because we’ve learned more about how to use them for this disease. We have learned a tremendous amount about this virus, about how it infects people, how it kills, how it spreads, but the big surprise to me is the kind of pan-organ nature of its attack. It gives the lie to anybody who thought that a comparison with influenza was in the ballpark.

    Let me repeat that last phrase.

    The death rate attests to that.

    It’s hard to mask the truth. Let’s stop the testing.

    Too stupid to take care of themselves; then go running to doctors to take care of them.

    It is better to be HATED for who you are, than to be LOVED for someone you are not. – Julie de Lesoinasse

    That quote pretty much describes somebody known by his followers as the “Chosen One”.

    Waste of resource that should be used for people who caught it because of idiots like this one.
