While global vaccination is still a long way, USA alone has reported over 6.16 million COVID positive cases as well as 187K deaths.

Notably, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson said, “It baffles me that some people out there — including some politicians — will take this idea of wearing masks and make it part of a political agenda. It has nothing to do with politics. Wear your mask.”
He also shared the story of his own mother who continues to wear mask without fail every day. He shared that part of his mother’s lungs were removed during her treatment for lung cancer. Notably, his Instagram post comes at a time when global coronavirus cases have already crossed 26.2 million with over 867,000 deaths.
