We can't allow ourselves to think that way. Ethics of deriving joy from the death of others aside, "right-wing idiots" are spreading it to others, not just dying themselves. Defeating the virus requires a degree of collectivism. That means we have to be concerned when anyone gets and spreads COVID-19, even folks we think deserve it.
I'm genuinely concerned I'm not going to survive this thing, or at the least, I will lose my transplanted kidney or get lung damage. Even once we have a vaccine, you bet all those anti-mask folks will be anti-vax too.
