The thing that the news doesn’t always tell you is that in hospitals that are overflowing: more people die.
Our for-profit healthcare system does not have extra beds in case of an emergency. They can’t afford it.
To make matters worse here in Orange county we’re sort of ground zero for anti-masker rallies. It should go without saying but we’ve got a lot of deluded people around here: science is real, so is the virus, so this is what you get with the for profit healthcare and anti-maskers promoting more virus transmission: more dead people.
I don’t know if that new more viral strain is here yet but hey it wasn’t just an opinion that this is going to be a dark winter.
Ok, no earthquakes for a few months and people take precautions more serious and do a stay at home/save some lives/holidays and that more viral strain doesn’t show up and wait… that’s too many….
Wearing a mask is not to just protect yourself but to protect others from you. Therefore not wearing one is a very selfish move.
Yes, we would be selfish. We know better. I live in antimask central. It’s extreme to have this loony tune fence where both sides think the other is nuts.

I like to think most people are doing what they think it’s right.
