US deaths from COVD - 600k+ . To put that in perspective - US military deaths in WWII - 400K+.
I've had a rich life, but that 600K figure kind of scares me, so I rush to grab a mask when I'm around people and I was at the head of the line for vaccination.
I haven't seen any deaths from wearing masks so far I haven't seen the morgue overflowing with vaccine deaths the way it was with COVID deaths,
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
