4. I don't get those people too

Exercise caution? Absolutely! But not acknowledging that Covid is no longer close to the threat it once was is just living in doomsayer land.

Get vaccinated! Get Boosted! 2/3s of the country is fully vaxxed, but only 31% have gotten boosters. Wear a N or KN 95 mask in crowds! All things you can do to protect yourself and others, but it seems some just clamor for doom. Covid is not a significant disruption to normal life in the US right now, and it's trending towards being less and less a disruptive over time.

I knew some people would have trouble letting go of the fear and alarm. I think it's because we are all a little traumatized over what happened. Over 1 million dead Americans is just hard to fathom and process. But we're at the levels of daily deaths in a normal flu season right now, and the vast majority of those people are unvaccinated.
