If only the self-absorbed had set aside their scientific misgivings & worn masks for the sake of the skeptics who doubted their science from Day One FOR THE SAKE OF THE GREATER GOOD – KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON – just think of how many small businesses would still be open today. #USA https://t.co/vVUVZZNYMQ

If everyone had worn masks from day one (when liberals were the ones saying they didn’t work and were racist) and we’d had a hard one-month lockdown, we could’ve avoided 270,000 deaths and most business would’ve been saved.

Not what happened, though, nor was it ever the likely outcome in the US with our frankly moronic notions of freedom. But it was not impossible. We just chose to not to do it and now are paying the price.

Masks work. Lockdowns work. But only if nearly all people use masks and follow the lockdown strictures, and do both when there’s no crisis already. We screwed it all up and now it’s too late. Such is life with dumbasses.
