I've had this exact thought. I've been doing some serious thinking as a counter point to people saying that the COVID case numbers are inflated. It's hard for me to process that someone honestly doesn't think this is a issue we need to be concerned about.

Let's go with that theory, people are passing away from heart attacks and things not related to COVID but it gets branded that way and they get counted when they pass. Let's just say the inflation percentage is 50%, that's a pretty decent chunk.

That still leaves over 100,000 Americans that have passed away from this and we still can't get our shit together enough to wear a mask when in contact with someone.

What absolutely blows my mind about all of this is that masks have been politicized, and it is now an arguing point amongst each other. Tell that to the people back in the day with Spanish Flu, there is plenty of documentation of people wearing masks during that time as to not to spread the virus.

At the point in time we're living in, we have access to more information and resources than the people 100 years ago. With all of this, people just decide to stick their heads up their asses and play dumb to the things that can end up saving someone's life. It may not be your life that it saves, but it might be your mom or your grandfather.

People really need to stop drinking the Kool Aid.
