16. There is plenty of reason to be pessimistic.

There is a hard core of people that just don't get it. Having idiots leading the country at the national level and in some states certainly doesn't help matters.

I am Black. Covid19 has done a lot of damage to Black peoples. Yet, I routinely see lots of Black people not wearing masks or observing social distancing. Some have bought into the faith versus fear BS that is prevalent in my part of Florida, unfortunately some of them won't make it.

In the end you can control only those things that you can control, beyond that you have to accept that people control their own destiny in the case of the virus, and not let that get you down - that is a hard mentality to take on, but if one is to maintain one's sanity, it is an absolute must.
