Better a Mask than a Ventilator

This kind of COVID denial makes me so angry. This is from Stephen Kruiser: "The Morning Briefing: Masked Panic Wusses Have the Delta Variant Vapors Now."  As if the headline isn't bad enough, here's an excerpt:  "It’s baffling that so many are still willing to cede their freedoms for science that really isn’t scientific. Again, I’m fine with them being terrified forever, as long as their nonsensical panic doesn’t lead to the return of the useless mandates. Given what I’ve seen in the last several days, I’d say that the mask freaks are a minority whose numbers are rapidly dwindling."

From Scientific American:  "Studies to date suggest the Delta variant is between 40 and 60 percent more transmissible than the Alpha variant first identified in the U.K.—which was already 50 percent more transmissible than the original viral strain first detected in Wuhan, China."

So in other words, for COVID-deniers like Stephen Kruiser and too many other like-minded people. if you want to do everything you can to protect yourself from a virus that's now even worse than the 2020 version, you're a coward and a "mask freak"?  Well, I'd rather wear a mask than wear a ventilator tube down my throat!

I really hope that unmasked and unvaccinated people like these actually contract the delta variant, so they can finally see that the light.
