The families of the 300,000+ dead in the U.S alone from this virus would tell you it's NOT like a cold or the flu. People like you are why this virus will hang on so long.So much to tackle on this one, well first off comparing covid to second hand smoke and smoking is laughable at best. Second do you really think these cotton masks people are wearing are really doing anything?? Do you honestly think they are stopping microscopic particles?? I live in California which was one of the first states to start pushing the mask mandate and the stay at home Order and guess what it’s still spreading!! Guess what the masks people are using aren’t doing a lot other than giving people a false sense of security. But if you think they work by all means use them
Srry to hear about your friend that’s terrible he had that type of reaction but here is what people are not understanding that is the exception not the norm. Most people get effected by this just like a normal cold. That’s why there is a 99.6% survival rate.
