There are plenty of exceptions to that "only disposable old people die of COVID." My friend's 40-something friend is a long-hauler with abnormal blood results, ongoing fatigue, and POTS even now, though she supposedly "recovered" from her infection in April. Masks have been shown to work over and over, and they're only a minor inconvenience for most people. I'm sorry you're having such a horrible time with this, Yppej.
