10. I think there are indeed people who do not know

about the virus. Some young adults are so wrapped up in their own shallow lives, so self centered and vain, that nothing from the outside penetrates their narrow minded existence. I have a couple of great nieces who pay more attention to their posh wardrobe, frivolous parties, and the fast cars their equally brain dead boyfriends drive, than the world they live in. Nothing is more important than being the center of their bubble universe. They have no curiosity, no interest or desire to interrupt their glamorous lifestyles.

Another class of people who might be oblivious to current events are substance abusers whose only interest is where they can score their next fix. People with mental disorders, probably others too.
