221,000 deaths due to Coronavirus so far. For comparison that is about the population of Des Moines, IA. Not a huge city, but not a small town either.
And then there is the collateral damage, how many 100s of thousands affected but not dead. How many people know someone of loved someone who died.
Everyone needs to wear a mask. It's more than clear that a mask does help stop the spread. To not have enough PPE's in correction facilities is frankly criminal.
