Augie RayPeople do not understand how to equate things with “lower” risk into their daily lives. Most are pretending that #COVID19 is so low risk, they act like it's gone. They do this, even though COVID remains a top three cause of death in the US and took 0.08% of Americans' lives last year.

The results demonstrate that pharmaceutical and public health interventions should continue to be applied to limit the spread of the
@augieray Actually, the real reason people aren’t worried about Covid is because Governments all over the world are telling them not to worry. Telling people what they want to hear, in defiance of reality, is politicians standard behaviour. Even China has had to fall into that trap.
For some reason, precautions are seen as an all-or-nothing choice. Which is ironic, because minimal precautions (ventilation, filters, masks…) would help us all to return to a more normal life.
