I'd been relying on the high communicability figure of COVID. It's the "fact" that seems to have varied the least over time. However, looking at 0-19 cohort having only 2% of cases, yet also a group that spends huge amounts of time in close contact with others, maybe it isn't as contagious.
Or, perhaps, they just don't get symptoms worthy of testing, and I was even righter, as I always tend to be.

Yes. This City has people that fucking Stupid.
Masks supposedly slow the spread. But since there are wildly variable numbers on this and the media and politicians lie constantly, who knows what the real numbers are. Some cuntries only count COVID deaths when it's the sole cause. I trust them. I won't cough or sneeze on people. How about that?
As of this writing, there are 7,810 deaths in the United States attributed to the pandemic. More than 7,000 Americans die every single day, on average, of everything. Over the course of this pandemic, this has amounted to a noticeable but still mild uptick above that average over the course of it. Add to that the directive from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to count any death tangentially related to COVID-19, and you have to wonder if that number actually holds. That directive reads, “COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.” (The emphasis in bolding is theirs.)
Somehow I don't think I'm paralyzing Harborview's ability to treat patients by wearing one, but Seattle's dumbasses on Nextdoor and Facebook say I'm the Devil.
Is it any wonder Seattle's population reads so many books? Social Retards love to Read, cause they can't socialize for shit.
Scoreboard baby!
The Throbber picked up a mask so he can operate behind progressive lines when hell breaks looks. Practicing my AAAARRGGHH!! MEAN ORANGE MAN! screams if needed.
Has there been any disclosure of beds occupied?
Axing for a fren. Honest inquiry - too lazy to search it.
