Less than 10 per day die from nonboating-related accidents.

Even cigarette-related deaths (which cover a whole host of diseases from cancer, to respiratory issues, to heart disease) account for 1,300 deaths/day.

Today's COVID-19 death toll: 2,516...and counting. And we had to shut down huge portions of the country just to keep it that low.

Right-wing conservatism is every bit as damaging to the brain as CTE. It turns them into complete mush.
