> Some people will die?

Yes

> What about long Covid?

Yes some will get long, just like with any other disease.

>What about 1 in 3 people in the Western World having high blood pressure, a co-morbidity often listed as one of concern for Covid infection?

Most of them will be fine

>Delta seems to be affecting kids far more than previously (likely due to how much more contagious it seems to be).

Contagious yes, but most of them will be OK

>Children's Hospitals in highly-unvaccinated areas are maxed out or getting there. ((In Florida for example)).

No evidence that mask will fix this

>What is "normal life" to you and why is wearing a mask during a pandemic such an assault on that? Like dig down deep -- why do you think a mask mandate ends your life being normal?

Normal life to me is no mask requirement in school, grocery store, etc

>Get vaxxed for it, IF YOU CAN. Wear a mask to help stop the spread, IF YOU CAN.

I'm vaxxed.

>But what your post really reads like is "I am very me-centered."

Not just me. There is plenty of people who want to go back to normal life.

Don't get me wrong, If you want to wear mask go ahead wear it I wouldn't ask you to take it off but when you forcing other people to wear then it become a problem.

>We can get "back to normal" with minimal effort by wearing masks, getting vaxxed, encouraging others to do the same, killing bad info with good info, and listening to collective experts.

We can go back to normal right now without mask.
