@deadprogrammer @chetfaliszek Unless he’d be alive sans covid, it is a Covid related death. Particularly since Covid fucks up breathing. Hence respirators. This is simple logic.

@c_f_johnson @Carnage4Life the true part of it is "move fast, make it easy to use (cheat like hell if you need to), and break things" is a working strategy. Then once you become popular lock down. Same thing Facebook did. That's 100% valid. It works. I've seen it over and over.
