D&D and the rising pandemic

[Garthanos]

Half of the people in the US seem to be walking in the opposite direction.

30 percent

30 percent

While that is better than 50%, 30% of the population ignoring the pandemic is still a crazy high number

Did you not know that?

Europe's brewing up again. Idiocracy in some places, arrogance and complacency in other eg " we've got the best health care in the world".

I knew there was a large number, hard to hide from what's happening in the states at the moment.

Half of the people in the US seem to be walking in the opposite direction.

And in the UK we seem to be struggling to decide which direction is 'forward'.

Trump called Jacinda Ardern’s use of public-health measures to mitigate the pandemic’s impact “a sleazy political move like you wouldn’t believe.”

In the City of Boston, public schools opened for students one month ago. As of today, they are going back to all remote classes.

One of the schools in the county north of mine has had to go all virtual twice since the start of the school year. Considering what I know of the area (I grew up not too far away), I'm not really surprised.

It seems like most of the people here in the United States just got tired of it and simply decided the pandemic was over.

Except it isn't over. The virus doesn't care about how bored or frustrated you are with it. It doesn't care about how many weeks you've had to spend indoors with your children, and it doesn't care about the economy or the election either. It's still out there, still spreading, still killing people, and we still don't have a vaccine....and grown adults are acting like petulant children over the bare minimum precautions like "stay home" and "wear a mask."

Not “most”, just a sizable minority, too many of whom are in positions that amplify their utterances.
