We're just getting over (the first wave) of a virus more deadly than anything since the Spanish flu of 1919. Over forty five thousand people have died. Forty five thousand grieving families. Even though common flu and various other factors like allowing people to drive cars and motorbikes who, in fact, shouldn't be allowed to touch anything more mechanically sophisticated than a child's scooter, take out far more than that every year.
And yet. And yet, even though we're allowed a lot more freedom, people are simply ignoring the urging of the government to wear masks, and gathering together in groups that simply must pass the virus to yet more people. As if to say "I haven't got it and never will, so there." How many more will have to perish, or how broke must this country become before people pull their collective fingers out of their collective rear ends and take heed.
I'm afraid to go out. Not so much because of Covid but of the career cretins that seem to make up this country.
