The speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives succumbed to the coronavirus — just a week after being sworn in, officials said Thursday.

The state’s chief medical examiner ruled that Dick Hinch’s death on Wednesday was due to COVID-19. He was 71.

“We ask that Speaker Hinch’s family be given the highest level of privacy and respect as they deal with this unexpected tragedy,” his office said in a statement on Wednesday.

Yes. Now it’s off to a re-education camp for you for the crime of questioning this.

Perhaps they should not have elected an older gentleman who was obese, likely diabetic and likely with heart problems.

“democrats don’t get covid”

Funny that isn’t it. You’ll never convince me the POTUS, Rudy and many other repubs weren’t somehow infected deliberately. Its the perfect crime....you can’t prove it.

You may want to tell that to the Dementia Joe, who probably has all that and more, apart from the obese part.

If only we could figure out some way to slow the spread among people. Like some way to shield others from the virus as it comes out of infected peoples’ noses and mouths when they breathe and speak. I’m going to think about it and come back if I think of something. Drawing a blank right now.

And too stupid to understand that facemasks do not work when worn below the nose.

Overweight people deserve to die painful deaths. No one disputes this.

Sounds like he was obese and old, reportedly fine the day before. How likely is it that he even died with Covid? I wonder what the coroner based that on.

And smokers too, plus those who do not wear their seat belts.

We are AT WAR with China. Just barely below the level of openly armed conflict. Not all warfare is kinetic and much of modern warfare is purposely nonattributional. Sorry for the military buffs who were hoping to see Chinese tanks and airplanes, but keep your eye out for Chinese diplomatic, information, cyber, biological, economic, and espionage attacks.

Maybe you should go for a jog instead of spending time lecturing those of us who are not obese about how we should bow to the alter of the almighty mask in order to protect you. (Appropriate screen name by the way.)

High risk individuals should actively avoid COVID infection at all times - or, publicly acknowledge and accept the consequences of their risky behavior.

That includes Trump.

Bottom Line...

Healthy persons under age 60 have almost no risk of death or long term consequences from COVID infection.

Protect the elderly and the infirm.

Everyone else, go back to your normal life.
