D&D and the rising pandemic

This mass stupidity is truly astounding. Almost every doctor in the world is telling us to take the virus serious and get vaccinated, and yet there are still huge crowds of people who think they know better. That guy in the video who recovered from covid, and yet still refuses to get the vaccine, is especially maddening. It makes you want to reach through the screen and smack some sense into him.

Yep 3500 out of 5 million.

Not sure if the Aussie set the record with a 3 month lockdown of a 5 million person city outside of an authoritarian state.

But it's gonna be harder and harder to lockdown as they become more frequent.

And most countries don't bother anymore.

Part of it is that the rest of us who have been doing what we should are SOOOO extremely tired of those who flaunt denial in our face.

I understand that. I am tired too.

But, vengeance is not a valid public policy.

Looks like we gonna screw it up in 2-300 years. There's a whiff of the 4th century going on wonder if 410 is to far away.

And exactly why I facepalm every single time I hear someone say "young people don't even get that sick! Why does it matter if they catch Covid-19!?!?".
