Man who called coronavirus ‘fake crisis’ gets infected, issues warning
New York Post ^ | May 18, 2020 | Yaron Steinbuch

There were all these masks and gloves. I thought it looks like a hysteria,” he added...“Many people still think that the Coronavirus is a fake crisis which at one time I did too and not that I thought it wasn’t a real virus going around but at one time I felt that it was blown out of proportion and it wasn’t that serious,” he wrote...“Looking back I should have wore a mask in the beginning but I didn’t and perhaps I’m paying the price for it now but I know that if it was me that gave it to my wife I know that she forgives me and I know that God forgives me.”

The virus is not fake. The hype, absurdity of the response, and refusal to open back up is.

Beat me to it.

The virus is real; the crisis is not.

An Uber driver should have known he needed to take precautions.

The fact that he and his wife are overweight added to that need.

I lost kin to the virus. We should have isolated and protected those at risk, but not shut down all of society.

So he catches it and that alone is enough to convince him that its actually an emergency and not overblown. What an ass.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. I admire not just your fortitude, but also your good, solid common sense regarding protecting the vulnerable vs. destroying society.

Yes.

Most everyone I speak to readily understands it isn’t a “Hoax” in that it speedily infects people and some people get really sick from the complications of being infected.

What most of us see as a hoax is the utilization of it as a tool by the Left to advance their goals under the guise of keeping us “safe”.

Conservatives feel that it is not worth it to destroy our economy and the futures of today’s children and the world in general to save “X” number of lives.

Obviously, if this had a mortality rate like the Black Death which was around 40%, you wouldn’t be hearing any protests.

But it doesn’t have that mortality rate.

And we DO make value judgments about human life. We do it ALL THE TIME. And conservatives don’t believe in general that we should plunge the world into depression and destroy the futures of people to save the number of people who would be expected to die from the virus.

No one said it is a fake virus, it is real and commerce secretary Navarro said it out load, the virus was engineerd a lab in china, china loaded the infected on international fights and seeded the world. The pandemic is being used to circumvent our laws and to shove an agenda down our throats by fear, and manipulation

It’s too bad that we have not seen honest and complete statistics on exactly what risk factors are involved in getting very sick and even dying from the C-virus It does appear that obesity is a big risk factor. If this man had been aware of that, he might not have been so casual about being an Uber driver and thus around lots of other people. Very sad about him and his wife

It sounds like this guy was a liberal who thought “the government” did this to distract us. From what? Well, the only thing going on at the time was the impeachment....

Maybe those at high risk for COVID related complications and/or death MIGHT WANT TO STAY ISOLATED AND LET THE REST OF US GO ON WITH LIFE.

His illness is anecdotal as was not contracted in a double-blind study overseen by the federal bureaucracy.
