Coronavirus math

How can I be spreading a virus I do not have?

That was the exact retort a friend of mine gave to their employees when asked why doesn't he bother wearing a mask inside his store right about a week before he developed symptoms of C19. Several of his close environment workers became ill with it a few days later as well, now he is wondering who will run his store, go figure.

Let us all collectively go jump of a bridge then by that logic.

I am in if the rest of you are.

The beauty of it is if he dies he doesn't have to worry about it.

Wiz doesn’t usually do his superbowl prop suggestions until late January or so, but if they try to make some indefinite stay at home order again I might be willing to join in on a bridge jump.

Made me chuckle, not gonna lie.

By getting infected from someone who does have it and not knowing for 2 weeks.

Have you even listened to anything about how the virus works?

Or do you believe you have immunity?

By AZD's logic, the virus should never have spread because at one point last fall, no one in the country had it. Pure nonsense from him, even after all these months and all of his predictions being blown out of the water.

Van Halen wrote a song about that!

I have said what I believe many times on here.

The whole of today's society comes down to people just wanting to live a normal live vs. people wanting to hide at home.

Kind of a joke since wishing death on a user is not considered a reason for suspension.

You said many things but didn't answer the question.

You asked why you need to wear a mask to protect other people from getting covid if you don't have covid.

I described the mechanism of covid (that you could catch it and not know for two weeks while spreading it)

I then asked why you feel this can't happen to you. I asked if you feel you have some type of immunity.

It seems from your indirect answer that you don't feel immune. You actually know it's possible to be a carrier and through your actions to spread the virus.

And you just don't care who you infect!

I know you feel that way because you believe everyone has to "live life" and everyone "faces death" and blah blah blah but it seems a bit disingenuous for you to be making such a decision for everyone else. Especially when the closures and mask rules are demonstrating that the majority of people are not on your side with this.

That's why you made a ridiculous claim. "How can I give someone Covid when I don't have it". Because if you were to go around spreading the disease it makes you look not like a non-conformist but like a, hmmm, a bad word.

So without skirting the answer, why do you feel you cannot catch covid and subsequently spread the disease especially since your actions (hosting parties with no mask, etc) make you high risk?
