So disappointed in you, Bill. Your constant anti-masking obsession eats up half of your hour. Many of your guests sound like spoiled brats, instead of real scientists. If you are worried about children having to learn remotely, maybe you should worry more about their lack of social skills due to social media, etc. Yes. 'People die' and Covid is still killing people and is the 3rd largest cause of death in the U.S. Wearing a proper mask is providing extra protection against transmission, and is necessary in keeping our nurses, teachers, etc. healthy, so that they can be there when you get sick! Even if you don't believe it, your country prides itself on 'freedom', which should include the freedom to wear a mask without being ridiculed and berated. Barbara Sklar RN. Grandma
