    Louie, the mental giant, actually wants to blame a lapse in his incredibly stupid scoffing at the socially-responsible precaution for causing his infection!

    Never surrender to the Dem hoax. Never admit that you were wrong. That's the mantra of the modern GOP science denier. Adults in the room? Absent.

    Because Louie "Dueling Banjos" Gohmert probably picks his nose and knows that keeping his hands off his mask is virtually impossible.

    I guess I'm slow on the uptick because I could give a rats behind to track every faux celebrity who catches corona.

    Good for Cain, he too can donate plasma. One more toward herd immunity

    Many of that hardcore of rabid Trumpery - old, less-educated, White, evangelical males - were approaching their date of expiration already.

    who in the heck is sweet potato hitler? I look toward what has and hasn't worked. Lockdowns and masking up hasn't worked. We've done/are doing both

    Celebrity?
    Have you considered personally donating antibody plasma? Yes… the herd immunity worked so well for Sweden.

    Prayers help stop the spread, so long as enough people pray.

    No, it is religion (which I have dubbed the Cult of the Mask, aka the Church of the Mask).

    What is "fake" about it? The immune system exists. The immune system destroys viruses. That actually IS science (immunology & virology).

    Abuse of the word "fact"; redefinition of logic.

    And your faith is fine for you. Reality says otherwise.

    The people promoting masks have objective facts on their side. You, by your own admission, have only religious faith.

    Try thinking about that a little harder. At least a little. The fact that we have immune systems does not change the fact that viruses exist which have continued to spread despite our immune systems. This ain't rocket surgery. Why pretend it is?

    Nope, just respect for facts and logic, which you and other Trump supporters attack simply because facts and logic offend the opinions of the dear leader and his followers.

    Maybe a false sense of security?? Maybe they are being forced to? Maybe to stop larger respiratory droplets? You'd have to ask them... I can't speak for them...

    The primary use for surgical masks in hospitals is during sterile procedures (such as operating on a wound or performing surgery) to stop inadvertent coughs/sneezes from getting into the surgical site. They don't use masks to protect themselves from viruses.

    Do you think people with covid-19 who sneeze don't have respiratory droplets? Doctors and Nurses also wear masks for non-invasive procedures; any idea why?

    To avoid affecting others with their germs. Thing is, we illogically feared the government for the opposite result: No government. There is a middle ground that says “If the government is making a reasonable request, and it doesn’t infringe any actual legitimate rights we should follow it.”

    And what are germs? Viruses and bacterial infections. Good reason to wear a mask. Sometimes rights have to take a back seat when it comes to the safety and health of American citizens during times of crisis and I think the pandemic qualifies as a crisis.

    It's not surprising at all when dying from a stroke is considered Covid related.
