Not Always Easy To PROVE Where One Contracted The Virus

That's the basis for all their Talking Point Bullshit.

Sure, Herman Cain died from Covid-19, but can you prove he caught it at the rally? No, you can't. He probably did, but then they'll say, but he might not have. Correct.

Same with Sturgis and those attending his recent rallies. Some may get the virus, some may die, but there is no way to PROVE that they came down with it at the rally.

In fact, I guarantee that instead of saying it's possible they got it at the rally, they would stand there and argue about all the other places they've been, where they might have gotten it.

We're dealing with DELUSIONAL people, who will take a bullet for their Cult Leader.

Or at least, he tested negative on the way in and (inexplicably) on the way out.

But yeah you can’t tell except in a big outbreak prolly.

In fact it's ridiculous to test someone before the rally and a couple of hours later.
A person doesn't become positive the minute they become infected. It takes a while for a virus to replicate and to show up on tests.

How dumb are they about this thing? Or was that just to provide ‘evidence’ that they didn’t catch it there?

Actually I think it could be the latter.

Just because someone smoked for 40 years doesn't mean they got lung cancer from cigarettes because there's no fingerprint to identify the particular toxin that triggered the initial cancer growth in that particular patient.

And yeah, some people, like my grandfather, get lung cancer without ever having smoked a single cigarette.

But as a whole, we know for damn sure, and when a long term smoker gets lung cancer, the simple answer is usually correct.


Same with people who get Covid a few days after going to a super spreader event.

People who play that fast and loose with their health were probably exposing themselves all over the place on a regular basis.

It isn't as if they crawled out of quarantine to drive directly to Sturgis.
