Hundreds of thousands of Americans will die this year from COVID. Sure, almost nothing. Just a 9/11 every two weeks or so.

Thousands die every day from tons of other stuff also, just a part of life.

That reality is reality? People die of lots of different things, I'm sorry I'm that's news to you.

It's the problem that people like you let this be reality. That we just dismiss millions of preventable deaths as mere statistics rather than doing simple and easy things like wearing masks during pandemics.

I wore one when I was required to and didn't wear one when I wasn't, so sorry for following the rules?
