Millions of people have died from it globally. Just because your case was mild doesn’t mean it’s nothing to worry about. We shouldn’t all be locking ourselves in our homes again, but Covid itself is still dangerous.

This man’s commercials have been the best comedy released in decades. How is this the best the MA GOP has to offer?
Thank you for the chuckle.

Is that 45 million pool you’re using confirmed infections in your age range? Or just total population in that age range? If it’s total population it’s not really relevant.
And you’re view is incredibly self centered. Even if the .4% number is the correct number to go by that isn’t the whole picture. How many people will you come in contact with in the few days before you’re symptomatic but are still potentially contagious? Do they all have the same low risk? “They have to make decisions according to their own risk”. Ok, what if they have to go pick up food or medication and happen to come in contact with someone contagious who is out without a mask because “lol 0.4%” or “muh freedoms”.
I’m not saying you go out and cough on elderly or unwell portions of our population. I don’t know anything about you. But the “0.4%” (or similar figure) argument is usually what I hear from the anti-mask crowd and it drives me insane. Im also low risk, but if taking simple precautions can help those around me without greatly inconveniencing me why wouldn’t I do it?
