If another countries army was invading our country, would you grab your gun, do what you could do to slow, or better, stop that army? Knowing the invaders would try to shoot you, would you still grab your gun? You understand getting shot is uncomfortable at least?
Why not do everything you can to slow/stop the virus? Most of the developed world has shown that it can be done.
Ya, and if your "gun" was a slingshot compared to a mask? Ya drop your gun and run like a bunny. Your best bet is to stay away from the crowds of lemmings.
Is Covid-19 killing people? I'm not smart enough to know. But every state is reporting many more deaths than average this year. And there is a new virus. How in the world can anybody say the facts are not related?
BTW, I understand no matter how big or small the gun, it will not kill a virus. But I stay away from people as much as I can. When PPE was short, I grabbed my face shield out of grinder drawer. When medical pros in family asked DW to make masks, I set up one of her machines in living-room to make 1 for every 2-3 she did. I feel I worked my gun pretty well.
IMHO, the only reason US is so far behind is from the start we made the virus a political issue instead of a health issue.
