Covid is natural, and to be honest so is stupidity.

It is a shame that he was exposed by someone who wasn't careful enough.

I was in the ER 2 weeks ago and all the staff there think masks are chin guards. When you call them out on it they get angry and put the mask halfway on for about 2 minutes, then resumed their normal stupidity and think they are paper chin guards again.

Bear attacks are also natural, but you don't say "natural causes" when Erica gets her face eaten off by a bear.

Water is natural, but we still say they drowned, and not "natural causes".

Hopefully you don't work in statistical analysis then

I bearly understand statistics.

If you consider wet markets natural. These animals viruses (bird flu, swine flu, COVID etc) all come from either trench warfare, or animals housed in essentially trench warfare (wet markets, factory farming).

The last person so far. We might get to see polio rise again because of the antivaxers

I think they would use a ventilator now, no?

No, only iron lungs

I want mine to be a golden lung please.

Why was someone still living in an iron lung for that long? Was there really no way to build this person a portable assisted breathing contraption so he/she could have a life? Seems unnecessarily cruel in this day and age.

He was able to move about without it via “frog breathing,” but needed the iron lung to sleep.

Read in an article that he chose to keep using it as he was so used to it
