Tell that to the family members and friends of the "less vulnerable"
86,761 Americans under 65 who have died of COVID in the past year. And that death count is despite many people following masking and social distancing recommendations.
And then
compare that to the number of deaths due to Influenza per year for all ages, including those 65+ (which comprise the majority of those deaths), over the past 10 years with essentially no one wearing masks or social distancing.
COVID 19 is far more dangerous than "regular flu" regardless of age.
Please don't ditch the masks yet.
