Quoted from your article:
America is averaging 2,458 COVID deaths every day, a six percent increase from the 2,314 last week. While deaths are still trending the wrong direction, weekly growth has shrunk from around 20 percent to six percent every week.
The virus mutation rate increases with every new infection.. Masks don't protect me they protect you from me. So while they are uncomfortable for everyone it's a pretty minor inconvenience and .2% is 4 deaths a day if that's true just in America.
