- A recent opinion piece from an anti-masker on a conservative news site is the latest example of stupid people with a platform trying to politicize face mask mandates.
- Ignorant stances like this aren't just blatantly wrong and patently absurd, they're extremely dangerous because they often impact people's opinions in the current politically charged climate.

This is especially true in the United States, where our abysmal response to the pandemic has led to uncontrollable coronavirus outbreaks all across the country. The virus has spread so far and so wide by now that the vast majority of people have likely been impacted by it. Even if you've managed to stay healthy yourself, at least a few people among your friends, family, and acquaintances have likely caught COVID-19.
If you're lucky, you or the affected people you know have had mild cases of COVID-19, or even asymptomatic cases. Mild cases can still be scary at times, but they're nowhere near as devastating as a severe coronavirus case can be. There are some truly terrifying coronavirus symptoms that many patients have been experiencing, and of course we all know that more than 692,000 people have died of COVID-19 around the world, including about 160,000 deaths here in the US. The novel coronavirus is easy to catch and tricky to kill, and the fact that you can spread it for up to 14 days without even knowing you're sick makes the virus even more dangerous. And yet some people are still so stupid and so pigheaded that they refuse to do the one simple thing that everyone knows can dramatically reduce one's chances of spreading COVID-19.
