Good for him. Congress is now one step closer to herd immunity.
And you condone him breaking his promise.
Whatâs the difference.

Iâd punch him for that. Iâd wear gloves doing that though.

âThe idea that we would have herd immunity as an objective, in some sense, it goes against controlling the disease because if you were to say, âWe need to have a herd immunity of 70% and we should let the virus spread until we get to 70%,â weâve seen what happens,â he said. âHospitals get overwhelmed. A lot of people die.â
Even if people donât die from the disease, there are still long-term problems, Ryan said. âAnyone who looks at patients who are severe with Covid realizes this is a very severe, multiorgan disease that stresses many systems in the body, the cardiovascular system, the neurologic system. And we have to assume in milder cases a similar process is happening at a milder level.â
Young people with Covid-19 have left hospitals healthy, only to experience problems 10 or 15 weeks later, he said.
âThey canât run. They canât exercise, they are out of breath, having coughing fits,â he said. âWho wants or needs that?â
Since there is no connection between the two why are you bringing it up?
You have no possible way to know who he contracted it from or under what circumstances either.
Wearing a mask is not to protect the wearer, it cannot protect you unless youâre also protecting your eyes.
The eyes are a direct pathway for respiratory infections which is why those treating CCPV patients are required to wear them.

The same thing is true of people who have had bad colds or the flu.
It can take several months to fully recover from any of them.
Itâs a shame people werenât protected from Gohmert. He undoubtedly infected people by his reckless behavior.
No, at best it reduces your ability to spread it.
Only if he went out of his way to spit in their faces.
How many infected people not wearing a mask screaming at the top of their lungs does it take to spread the virus?
Or sneezed. Or coughed. Or shouted. All increase the risk of spreading the virus. Gohmert should have told his staff right away. And he sure as hell shouldnât have created a work environment that eschewed masks.
Where was the entire committee packed into a space no more than 6â in diameter with everyone facing him and not wearing masks or eye protection?
I have no idea who all the people Gohmert came into contact with or the circumstances during the time from when he was infected to when he started quarantining.
We also donât know the people or circumstances of the encounters he may have had with people in his office. The same office where he created a work environment that discouraged mask usage. Seems pretty callous if you ask me. Politics over safety I guess. Itâs one thing to make the decision for yourself, itâs another to pressure others to be unsafe.
So you didnât even bother reading the post I replied to apparently.
Nobody is being pressured not to wear masks, that is utterly baseless.

Hmm, I thought I read that someone had said that Gohmertâs office was pressuring staff to not wear masks.

Fact: wearing a mask does not prevent YOU from being infected with COVID-19.
Not a fact.

What the â â â â is wrong with people. No one is going to get infected because they wore a mask but you sure as â â â â can get infected by not wearing one.
I know every country has its own share of â â â â wombles who refuse to wea a mask but America takes this to a whole new level of stupidity.

We used to be the envy of the world. Now that envy comes with qualifiers.
Weâre special. Exceptional even.
