Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican, has tested positive for the coronavirus

If someone has a stroke because of blood clotting caused by covid, it SHOULD be covid related.

Congrats, however, on regurgitating RW disinformation on supposed covid deaths overcounting, to defend one of the science denier morons in your party who makes the US look like a third world country.

 

Our party, lol you lefties should have followed your brilliant advice obviously. TX same amount of cases as NY, yet only have 6.3k deaths vs NY's 33k deaths, Florida same amount of cases as NY, yet only have 6k deaths vs NY's 33k. Hell both those states have double the cases as Jersey and half the amount of deaths as Jersey. Now lefties gonna tell us how smart they are, please. Go down the freaking list, lefty land are the ones that have made America look bad, not the other way around.

 

Covid CAUSES strokes.

My friend had several because of it as well as pulmonary edema

 

Over 300 deaths from Covid in Texas yesterday

 

Yet still has as many covid cases and 18% of the deaths NY has and NJ for that matter. Good job TX.

 

Really? That’s how you wanna play this?


Jesus

the virus is not done with Texas or Florida or the middle of the country yet.

there’s a lot of dying to do that didn’t wed to happen

 

They can't hurt. Sorry it injures your fragile ego

 

I suppose you think the demon semen saved them? It sure as hell wasn't HCQ

There are therapies now. Remsevedir and dexamesatrone. New York did not have those. The number of permanently disabled?

 

It paralyzed this one guy they had on tv. It went into his spine somehow. This is terrible awful stuff, it seems to go in and just sit there and it can attack anyplace, reminds me of cancer.

They had better find a vaccine soon, this is another plague.

 

The N-95's seem pretty effective. Not the KN-95's like the My Pillow Man is making but the N-95's like they use in hospitals and you just CAN"T find, except in lots of 100.

 

Mantra 10d (word redefinition fallacy; abusing the word "reality")

Mantra 10c (word redefinition fallacy; abusing the word "fact")
A fact is merely an assumed predicate. It is not a "proof" or a "universal truth".

I was copying your argument (but switching masks to prayer) to make the point of how ridiculous your argumentation was...

An immune system doesn't stop a virus from existing and spreading, but it does destroy a virus once it enters the body...

Mantra 10c from above, as well as a Mantra 8 (redefining logic). You are not respecting logic, as you are making numerous logical fallacies in your argumentation...

Mantra 9b (compositional error fallacy, specifically bigotry)

Continued Mantras 8, 9b, and 10c from above...

 

They have respiratory droplets.

... not to stop viruses...

 

When the seal is perfect, they perform better than many other masks do, but they still do not stop nor prevent the spread of viruses, and it is not feasible to keep a perfect seal throughout an 8 hour work day. People do not wear N95's around anyway... they wear disposable masks (3.0 micron rating) and cloth masks (even worse)...

 

ACTUALLY, they CAN hurt...

** breathing is more labored/difficult with masks on
** wearing a mask all day (it becomes moist) is a perfect "breeding ground" for viruses
** touching the mask all day does the same thing...
** oxygen saturation levels are somewhat lowered while wearing a mask.

 

And in your viewpoint, why do they wear them?

 

You'd have to ask them...

The doctor who I go to (before covid, anyway... I haven't seen him since then) has never worn a mask when seeing me...

 

Ask New York if masks work

I also have gallons of hand sanitizer and was my hands as often as possible..

I doff the gear and sanitize everything I touched before getting near my face.

.

 

LOL! Face masks aren't "breeding grounds" for viruses. A virus, like covid-19, needs living cells to replicate. It cannot "breed" without hijacking that cell's machinery for replication.

Of course, a Trump fan, once again, shows his lack of science knowledge, but we should take his advice to not wear a mask? I'd rather listen to the real experts, not internet keyboard jockeys.

 

It should be made clear that Gohmert's mental deterioration began long ago, and is not a symptom of the malady he recently contracted.

 

He's been a science denier for years. You wouldn't expect him to change his science-denying ways because of inconvenience.

 

...or science denying Republicans...

 

"Ah mighta got that there coronavirus cuz Ah kept touchin' mahseff,
but at least Ah didn't go blind!"​

 

LOL. You don't even realise you've scored an own goal. Not only have you no knowledge about how viruses replicate but you cannot see your flaw in your statement "breathing is more labored/difficult with masks on" ! Do you know that air molecules are thousands of times smaller than the virus? Perhaps you could explain how a mask is able to reduce the air flow of particles thousands of times smaller than a virus yet according to you has no effect on a huge virus?

 

I suspect the AMA would frown upon that practice. Especially in an operating room situation.

I'm a New Yorker and I wear a mask anytime I leave my house; I have no issues breathing, once the mask becomes moist I put on a new dry one, once put on, I have no reason to touch the mask, my oxygen sats are within the normal range. I also wear gloves especially when going to the food store and use plenty of hand sanitizer when I'm not wearing gloves and thus far have avoided contracting covid-19. I think your argument is rather weak on wearing masks.
