So what do we know about COVID-19?

We know that it has killed 280,000 people in the U.S. We know that countries where people wore masks did orders of magnitude better than those that haven’t.

So what do we know about people who know this and still won’t wear a mask. We know they are selfish and stupid.

This is not rocket science.
