To state that "only people with poor immune systems will get seriously ill," and then trumpet about how one can allegedly "fix" said immune system with vitamins and other quackery is ignorant and cruel. Stretch might as well blame people for dying from cancer, lupus, ALS, MS, etc. "It's your fault for not taking care of yourself!"

    I'm sure Stretch stays far away from crowded venues, wears protection when she does have to go out, and avoids dangerous activities. If she really believed all that immunity bullshit she preaches, she'd be out dancing in clubs, going to #COVID45 rallies, and singing in her church choir.

    Florida: 11,458 new cases today. Too bad none of those people took their vitamins, charcoal, and garlic.
    Nope. It targets the respiratory tract, like any other respiratory virus.
    It has only affected 0.1% of the population.
    It has only killed 0.06% of the population.

    Masks do not stop a virus.
    6 feet does not stop a virus.
    Plastic barriers do not stop a virus.
    The virus is airborne. It is everywhere and on every surface.

    ability to exploit whatever ails you.

    In any event, to follow the point where it appears to be going, so we should care less about people who are less than perfectly healthy?
    Not what Jesus taught.

    I've read it repeatedly reported that survivors often claim to be permanently impaired. THat's an entirely larger
    population added to the mix that makes this virus devastating and nothing to sneeze at.

    Going on a bike ride now, wearing my mask to protect myself and others, hoping to avoid by at least 20 ft the Trumpers who aren't
    doing anything to make the world a better place, even wearing a damn mask too much to ask.
    Have fun looking like a religious hypochondriac dork.

    Masks do not stop a virus.

    Who is telling you to not wear one?

    Why can't people decide on their own whether they want to wear one or not? Why can't employers? When did we become a Fascistic nation where the Government can mandate whether we have to wear one?

    True, depending on who's dataset you use! Another indication this is all political.

    The UN does not want President Trump to be re-elected. Trump points out their fakery.
    The Fake News does not want Trump to be re-elected. Trump points out their fakery.
    Germany and several other European nations do not want Trump to be re-elected. Trump points out their violation of NATO treaty.
    The Democrats do not want Trump to be re-elected. They even 'impeached' him on charges so vague the Senate couldn't even figure out what the actual crimes were, and even violated several laws themselves to do it.

    And what have they got as a candidate? Biden: a man that likes to grab little girls by their chest on national TV and who talks about his hairy legs while the children around him are visibly edging away from the guy. A man that boasts about violating federal laws, and implicates Obama in violation of those same laws in the boast. A man that is trying to run his campaign from his basement (his Mom's basement?). A man that can't even handle softball questions by reporters chosen by the Democrats, and who is given a teleprompter to answer them, with any kind of coherency. A man that doesn't even know what town he is in. A man that bails out rioters, vandals, and arsonists...and supports them.

    Meanwhile Trump makes speech after speech about the Silent Majority, the working people that make this great nation of ours great. He points out the great accomplishments of the everyday worker. This from a man the Democrats refer to as 'self centered'.

    The choice in November is straightforward. Either vote for tyranny, rioters, looters, arsonists, CHAZ, and all those that want to see the destruction of the Constitution of United States, to be replaced with fascism by oligarchy;
    or
    Vote for liberty. Vote for the Constitution of the United States. Vote for Trump, an incredible patriot that loves this country and the great people that make it possible...the everyday worker.
