So you admit the mask mandates are slowing deaths but not willing to get on board with it. That’s some curious logic.

Edit: adding to this.

Thanks for so nicely encouraging me to get a grip on reality. I'm going to really try. People are indeed dying and will die despite measures and precautions because that's how everything works. Nothing is ever 100 percent perfect. For example, despite how safe cars have become and how high seatbelt use, people will still die in car accidents. Do you see where I'm going with this>

So if 1000 people do tomorrow and that it, or 1000 people die over two weeks, which one is better?

Yeah but that is not the reality. It's not a one to one. The numbers actually would look more like 1000 people die in a day, then tomorrow 1000 people die in a day. In two weeks 14,000 people day. This using your logic. Obv numbers are fictitious for an example. Figured I should say it before you try to hide behind something dumb.
