    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Why do you find that so hard to understand? The mechanism for humidity inhibiting viruses is well known in the medical world.

    That vast majority of them do. Or some underlying illness. The death toll from Covid would be nowhere near what it is if they were all healthy people that got it. People with strong immune systems beat it as is shown every day. That is not psuedo science, that is pure fact. Hope you enjoy your 4th.

    I'd venture 50% of the population has something or other that aggravates this illness, whether known to the victim or not.
    Many people still smoke, that doesn't help. Many have undiagnosed heart conditions, etc etc. And this illness has an uncanny
    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.

    That about sums it up. Thank-you.

    Stay safe!

    You are right; this virus targets major organ systems, and its damage and targets vary by person. As you correctly pointed out, most of us have some sort of underlying health anomalies that we may or may not even be aware of. 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.

    If he doesn't understand his falling in the polls all he has to do is look at his lack of empathy, not something Americans want to see from a President during a generational crisis
    Fear mongering. Less then 1% of the population was infected.
