I'm a statistic now

At the beginning of the month I wasn't feeling well. Temperature was going up and down and I was having trouble getting a deep breath. I went to the ER and a chest x-ray showed pneumonia in my right lung. I was officially diagnosed with COVID-pneumonia. A swab was taken and my test was negative for COVID. I am certain that my pneumonia was caused by the cloth masks I was wearing. Unfortunately that doesn't fit with the current narrative.

    Ask to see the diagnosis submitted to the "State" Department of Public Health. I'll bet you will be listed as Covid - pneumonia despite the negative test. But then, are the tests valid in the first place?

      I was told to isolate for 10 days from the onset of symptoms regardless of what the test results were. I agreed cause I wanted to be careful. The ER doctor said these tests aren't the most reliable. I just don't want to be counted as a positive case if I'm negative. I also wonder why we are testing at all anymore.

    Yep, and you are also one of the many cases which wasn't a true Covid case as well, if they diagnoses you with Covid-pneumonia.

      I have been telling as many people as I can. Almost all seemed shocked that putting a cloth on your face all day could cause any ill health affects.

        Had a nurse family member just tell me yesterday that its a fact masks effect your health, especially those that are constantly playing with it and she did suggest to put it in the sunlight after use. She also as myself says she just can not breath well with them on but Gov Cupcake has stomped his foot here and will wear one when around others in the grocery.

    I'd be curious to see some data on new Pneumonia cases, unrelated directly to COVID. Having COPD I refuse to wear one. Only thrown out of the grocery store once, then they changed the policy back to allow me a medical exemption (probably just thought I might sue them). I got a good apology from the store manager a few days later.

    Please fight it and get over it, Rich. We're all praying for you; even some of the Atheists. We don't want you to fall to the disease and end up voting Democrat in November!

    The paper masks are for only temporary use and ineffective. A good cloth mask with a filter pocket would be better & can be washed. I made a filter from surgical cloth (came from cataract surgical kits when my wife had worked at a Surgical Eye Center. I cut to size and wetted with colloidal Silver Solution (I have a Colloidal Silver generator). When it was dry I put into the pocket. I also purchased one with exhaust vents I had to modify it but the vents don't work very well. All those vents are made in China. There are instructional videos on YouTube for making a DIY vent for a mask.
