Wonder how many percent of the world does that? bet it is way less then those that have died from Covid. And guess what. people don't stick freaking knives in outlets! Did that drastically change their lives?????? Nope.

A 100% preventable event vs. an event that will happen. It's only a matter of time until you get it, if you haven't already.

Redundant statement... Mask or no mask, the germaphobes have drastically altered everyone's life over a .3% chance of dying.
The ironic part? They have better than a 3x greater chance of dying as they drive to and from the store where they need to wear their mask.
The double bonus ironic part? The people who want to make everyone wear the mask have been saying for the last 50 years that the planet is overpopulated and we need a "plague" to kill off the "parasites" that are destroying the earth.
Now, a "pandemic" is here, they are all scared to death. You'd think they'd be holding hands, singing praises to Gaia that their wishes have been answered. Go figure...

Seriously? Trained professionals who have the proper masks, properly worn, who change them after every patient vs. "Ethyl" who's aunt made her a mask with over sized elastic straps so "it fits loose and doesn't hurt". As a bonus, she hasn't washed in a week because she only wears it for a few minutes in a store and it "isn't dirty yet".
GREAT COMPARISON!

Again, (semi)preventable accidents vs. a virus that WILL infect everyone on the planet eventually. There is no one alive that can say they have never caught a cold or had the flu. (Unless you want to be ludicrous and say babies haven't).
You WILL get this flu type infection. Just a matter of time..
Fortunately, it's a virus that you have a 99.7% chance of surviving.
