Cause Of Death is listed as Covid + the underlying condition. Half of Americans have a pre-existing condition. So would they all still be alive if they didn't get covid?

I believe I read that somebody became re-infected after having the virus, and recovering.

If that's the case, herd immunity loses a lot of its benefit.

Philly's mayor who has restricted Philly restaurants to outside dining only was seen dining inside without a mask in Maryland.

Politicians are absolute crooks.

"Why can people eat with no mask in an airplane — inches, not six feet, from strangers — but cannot eat in a California restaurant, which is so much bigger than the inside of an airplane, while sitting six feet from others?"

“Covid is over in Sweden. People have gone back to their normal lives and barely anyone is getting infected any more. I am willing to bet that the countries that have shut down completely will see rates spike when they open up."

Dining with a mask is not possible. Unless you can somehow get food into your mouth while its still covered up, you can't eat with a mask on. Requiring them in restaurants makes no sense at all because at some point you'll have to take it off.

Definitely interesting, but n of 1 doesn’t mean much in medical terms.

Why can't you wear one in between bites? why can't you wear one while waiting for your food? I've been told masks work and the science supports it so we should mask up at every moment possible during the day.

Also there's no evidence there's an n greater than 0. The situation being reported is someone who had it earlier this year, then "tested positive and is currently asymptomatic", so they are false positive, or they are still shedding dead viral RNA.
