Midwest health system CEO says he had COVID-19, won’t wear mask
NY Post ^ | November 20, 2020 |

The head of one of the largest regional health systems in the Midwest has told his employees that he has recovered from COVID-19 and is back in the office — without a mask.

Sanford Health’s president and chief executive, Kelby Krabbenhoft, said in an email Wednesday that he believes he’s now immune to the disease for “at least seven months and perhaps years to come” and that he isn’t a threat to transmit it to anyone, so wearing a mask would be merely for show.

...

Sanford Health, based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has 46 hospitals and more than 200 clinics concentrated in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. It employs nearly 48,000 people

...

For me to wear a mask defies the efficacy and purpose of a mask and sends an untruthful message that I am susceptible to infection or could transmit it,” Krabbenhoft

...

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has refused to impose a statewide mask mandate.

....

Krabbenhoft told the Sioux Falls Argus Leader for a story published Friday that he doesn’t think South Dakota needs a mask mandate. He said his hospital system is well-positioned to handle any increase in COVID-19 patients

Well, if he had COVID, then he’s basically immune now. So why should he need to wear a mask?

The Science is settled!

(Really it’s not, there’s effectively no such thing, but for this, right now, that works)

South Dakota did not have an economic downturn - no empty boarded up buildings with "Sorry Closed" signs written anywhere.

The only place I saw masks were at the big box stores. All the mom and pop stores and restaurants were doing good business.

. . . he believes he’s now immune to the disease for “at least seven months and perhaps years to come” and that he isn’t a threat to transmit it to anyone, so wearing a mask would be merely for show.

I am convinced that wearing the mask is, for most people, is just for show!

Quite right. Newtonian Physics was the settled science for a couple hundred years, and then it wasn’t because General Relativity came along.

Saying that anything is settled science is foolish.

The government should require everyone that has survived the virus to wear a badge that says they had the disease. It could be yellow, and in the shape of a six point star.

That’s what happened to my 74 yr old neighbor...had COVID and recovered 4 months ago.

Doesn’t wear a mask. It didnt faze him one bit about mortality. Until now, he still invites hookers and throws parties like it was nothing..

But I can’t get pic HTML to work like I could before the recent migration. What’s up with that? Known problem?

Hmmm?

I haven't tried since the Great Migration of 2020.

Seems to work for me.

Although I don't seem to be able to resize your image.

Good for him!

Every time he exhales he is spreading antibodies and helping his fellow man.

Seriously.
