Hunter’s ed is basically the opposite of what you stated. It’s not part of the state curriculum. It’s similar to drivers ed courses for people to be able to get a learners permit before they turn 18. Similarly below a certain ages, most states require completion of a hunter’s education course to be able to purchase a hunting license and legally hunt.

The courses go over topics like property rights, how to carry a weapon making sure it’s not pointing at anyone, what high vis clothing is required, always knowing what is behind an animal before even aiming, rules about how a weapon must be unloaded when in a vehicle, and they strongly urge keeping an interference lock in the action of any firearm in storage.

Hunter’s ed doesn’t teach kids how to shoot, they teach kids how to not be idiots when hunting.

This tool makes it easy to figure out how much overpayment will save over the life of a mortgage/loan.

Viral infections aren’t purely binary though. It has been shown that the peak severity of infection is correlated with how big of a viral load you are initially exposed to.

So a mask can help decrease the severity of the inevitable infection by decreasing how much viral bodies you inhale.
