But the authorities also realized that when Covid tests became widely available that the numbers could be easily manipulated to show a “second wave”. I have never before seen or even imagined the manipulation of statistical data about any contagion for political purposes. The real relevance of these numbers is that Covid really is just a run of the mill contagious respiratory ailment.
I have known two people who got very sick with pneumonia in these last few months. One of them died. Before tests were widely available both of them would have been counted as presumptive Covid as my brother-in-law was counted when he died from a cancerous brain tumor last Spring. But neither of the two people who I know who had serious pneumonia tested positive for Covid. Both of them were fanatical mask wearers. They wore them all the time, outdoors, indoors, near others, away from others, exercising or sitting around, even sleeping in some cases. The doctors told the one who is still alive to ditch the mask which she strenuously objected to because it had become some type of psychological crutch. But he said the obsessive mask use had contributed to if not directly caused her to come down with pneumonia and that it was lowering her O2 stats.
Excessive mask use has long been known to put people at increased risk for a number of serious conditions.
