No one bothered to say that only 4 people died in the entire state of Texas at this time which means that the chances that one of the four people in the state died from a Covid Party as being unbelievable. The data is available, if only I could say none of the four died in her county, that would have been the cherry on top of this.

Anyone who takes this thing lightly shouldn’t be surprised if they run into trouble. People need to be sensible and take care of themselves.

No, not thinking of that one-—the man in question is Richard Rose, an Ohio man who did in fact die, after the ludicrous assertion that he attended a “Covid” party with someone already infected, to test the theory that one needn’t wear a mask for protection. I have seen numerous pictures of him healthy prior to illness, but only ONE of him looking wasted, grayish, and drawn. My daughter showed me this last “clincher” picture but I can’ find it on the internet. Someone she knows on FB posted a link and included that picture. I’ll have to ask her to see it again, from her Iphone. The whole thing still looks fictional to me, though it may be true the guy actually perished. Biggest red flag is the “object lesson” embedded there: too good and scripted to be true. “I was wrong This virus is not a hoax” etc. etc. Couldn’t they at least show a little more originality?

More info on the National Review story:regardless of the first transmission of this story from that hospital and Dr. Appleby (who also appears in a video) there is a great deal more info on the identity of the man: He is Richard Rose, 37, a veteran of service in Afghanistan-—easy to find pictures of him looking healthy and carefree, but still can’t find that picture I am sure my daughter showed me, showing him very gray , wasted and sick. Legend has it he died a mere three days after he “tested positive”.BUt for anyone really interested in “proving” one way or another, the legitimacy of the story, there is his friend , Nick Conley, who made his own video (him apparently sitting in his own car, talking with the same scripted-sounding rhetoric about Richard, but also chiding people who were judging him hastily. Nick Conley is also on Facebook, and it looks like the guy in the car and his archive of photos includes one of Richard Rose. So I know it’s the same one. I am going to contact him through FB, an ever-s0-gently try to get out of him more about Richard and the circumstances of his “infection”, maybe more info about what might have happened to the person that infected Richard-—right? what happened to him or her?Anyone have any suggestions? BTT

Good luck on making contact and getting some info! You just never know, in this day of the internet, how much is real & how much is BS online.
