That just isn't true. Other coronaviruses don't usually kill people, no matter how old.
Did you ignore the 89,000 deaths in the US over the past 2.5 months or so? That does NOT and DID NOT happen from other coronaviruses before this one. They are a class of viruses but they are all completely different and have nothing to do with each other in terms of severity. This isn't even more than 80% similar to SARS, which was very deadly. It is even less similar to the mild coronaviruses that cause common cold. Common colds do not typically kill people. INFLUENZA kills more people, and that is a fraction of the deaths being caused by covid19. Flu has been said to kill 0.1% each year but that is not reliable or accurate. That is an estimate. It is more likely closer to 0.01%, IMO. We just don't test extensively the way we are doing for this coronavirus. We would be counting many more flu infections who did not die, if we did test more.
Most of us cannot even name one person we know that died from Flu. Yet, for those of us that live in the hotspots of covid19 outbreaks (NYC, NJ, etc), we can name multiple friends and community members who died in the past few months from covid.
You are being told misinformation.

Did you see the antibody testing in NYC? Even Cuomo admitted it, they found millions of people with the anti-bodies. That puts the real death rate close to the flu. It's vastly more contagious, but the survival rate is very high. I assure you, I get my info from doctors and other medical professionals.
If you like misinformation, a study has found that men with low testosterone are more likely to die. While you are being psychologically triggered to agree with that because you, like basically everyone will want to say "mine's high", the fact is really old people with preexisting medical conditions have a habit of low testosterone.
A few of my family members in France are 60+, my aunt being one with acute bronchitis. She didn't even notice she had it or my cousins, and by the time she was tested she already had the late-stage anti-bodies. Yeah, that case of itself is anecdotal, but it illustrates that vastly more people have this virus than any government knows, the real death rate isn't very high at all, it's just the most contagious thing.
My mother is laughing, she lived in India during an acute meningitis outbreak that killed people in hours after contraction with virtually no treatment possible, even just for "comfort", and 100% of the people that got it died. She still went out, didn't get the vaccine, we just all know our protocol and don't touch all the dirty people or anything outside.
Anyways I could show you the thing from the doctor for you to comment on, there's no point of debating me who isn't a medical professional, but it's in French.
Here we go again. These are the same baloney arguments that were debunked when the CDC first reversed itself and recommended masks to the public because there was no more shortage anymore.
The virus particles are contained within DROPLETS. The large droplets are completely blocked by n95 masks because they are too big.
Large droplets seem to be the primary mode of transmission. That would be beneficial since surgical and cloth masks not very much worse than the n95 in terms of blocking out large droplets.
N95's ALSO block 95% or more of aerosol size droplets containing virus. There is more of a disparity between n95s and surgical and cloth masks in terms of blocking aerosols, but these are still better than going naked. They still do some job of blocking some aerosols. But again, the primary mode of transmission of this virus is likely to be due to large droplet, so those masks will do a bang up job of decreasing transmission risk.
Coronavirus is not a bacteria. It's a virus. What in the world are you talking about?
If the mask blocked virus from getting into your nose/mouth, then you touch the front of the mask with your hand, it is no different than if you touched a surface or item that had virus on it from an infected person. It is now on your hands.
Having the mask on would prevent you from licking your fingers at this point. Unlike if you did NOT have a mask on.
If people are told that the front of the mask becomes contaminated, they are not stupid. They will know now that you told them. They also needed to be told the optimal way to wash hands (20 seconds with soap).
No one said, "Well, people don't wash their hands properly, so don't encourage hand washing because they'll have a false sense of security from sub optimal washing." They simply encouraged PROPER hand washing. In the same way, PROPER mask wearing is encouraged.
No it doesn't.
Link me to any info saying that the corona virus is primarly spread by the .4 sized virus particles. Bacteria virus whatever, that's what I meant.
If your mask is sweating along with you in California, half of what's out is in now, touch the mask and the mask touches your face and you may as well be kissing an infected person.
There's no information campaign. Yes, we educate medical professionals on this and therefore people could be informed too. Adults. Every Karen is taking selfies with her kids in masks, and they play with them, it's on their face, go ahead and make a really long speech, won't matter. As for this whole "20 seconds" thing, it's a bit silly, you could wash not everywhere and take 20 seconds. First the "kills 99% of bacteria" tricoslan sludge is useless and harmful and so many thousands of people are talking about their red rashed hands and aren't aware they just murdered their testosterone count and weakened their hearts, not to mention it leaves plenty of the bacteria. You just wash with soap and water everywhere especially under the nails and dry with a towel and not the infestation heater known as "hand dryers", and you're good. Even then, they have to put up these little posters to tell people how to wash their hands. I would only encourage you to put up signs telling people not to touch their masks because what people would do would entertain me in a whimsical way.
Yes yes, all the vaccine people are out saying we need a mask to say safe and their mask only works if I wear mine.
In Quebec, Canada, very few new cases in the two big cities of montreal, and now many new cases in the tiny towns that are all called St. Something. Basically everyone has it in the cities now, no way around it, and now it's hitting the countryside. At this point, there's nothing we can do to stop the spread, but Legault, who is the "premier" of Quebec is pushing against any measure now, because just the mental heath problems being created or aggravated are causing more damage and will lead to more deaths than Corona does.
