There, fixed it for you.
The fact that you don't find 87k deaths in two and a half months to be concerning says quite a bit.
And "fixing" my post is childish. Try making your point without resorting to such tactics.
On topic, I can't wait to see the argument when the option to wear a face shield instead of a mask becomes the next step. All the reasoning that a mask is unhealthy just goes 'poof' and some of you will have to stand up and admit that's not your actual reason for refusing to wear PPE
Now a study shows Coronavirus infections would plunge if 80 percent of people wore masks, study says.
Very frustrating the conflicting reports on masks — we need serious research on their efficacy with THIS virus.
I guess a slightly off-topic follow-up I am wondering about:
If you don't believe the mask helps - that's one thing.
But do you - seriously - KNOW you aren't sick?
Or do you just not care if you get someone else sick? (As in, you don't believe in social distancing or disinfectants or not touching your face - or - basically, none of it. You actually think the virus itself is pretty much imaginary.)
Again, with the snark - but no useful information. That's ok. I'm getting used to it.
I've gotta ask again - do you simply believe there is, in fact, no virus, and the 300K or so dead AROUND THE WORLD, all died from some random other thing, the same month?
I want to emphasize - before you ramble off on some "it only kills old people" monologue - this is not and never was about dead people - it's about resources. So whatever your "superstition" is about COVID - I hope there's a plan it to keep our hospital beds available.
But whether or not you need a hospital bed - if you catch it and show symptoms (seems to be likely for about 25 - 50% of the USA) - you WILL be jobless. Your spouse too. No stimulus this time. Enjoy.

Not "half the population". Just the ones who can't stop with the exposure=infection=death stuff. You're that scared? Stay home and let the rest of us do the work.
Notice how healthcare workers wear N95 mask, face shield, and full gown like they are astronaut in Mars?
Yet, a lot of people think a stupid bandana or home made cloth mask is going to protect you from the virus? LoL
The only helpful thing with a bandana or cloth mask is to remind you to not touch your face with your dirty diseased hands
