I put the blame for news like this right on the people who won't wear a mask, social distance, who ignore the reality of the deadly disease.

Last year, when Covid-19 started its race through the human population, epidemiologists predicted that the U.S. alone would lose 3 million people. That was with masks, social distancing and other safeguards. We are right on track to hit that number or more. Even with a vaccine available, up to 20% of Americans won't get it, because they don't want to.

The people who won't follow guidelines to limit the spread of this illness are responsible for another layer of tarnish on the U.S.
