I am not a medical professional.

But I can do math very well.

I keep receiving comments from folks who state that “the majority of people dying from Covid-19 would have died anyway,” and therefore no precautions are necessary and we should just go about our business as usual. After all, you can’t cheat mother nature. It will always win.

Nonsense.

If mother nature always won, I would have died 41 years ago at age 22 when my appendix burst. But I fought mother nature, went to a doctor, had emergency surgery, and I have had a productive life, children, built a company, all of which would not have happened if I had not taken steps to secure my health.

Looking at the video below of a patient – to me – is absolutely frightening.

I think I’ll keep wearing a mask for a while.
