Imagine if there was another Uvalde shooting today in your town. How would the media react? How would people react?
Now image if there were Uvalde shootings in 13 cities throughout the US, all in the same day. How would the media react? Would our government try to do something about that?
Now image if there were 13 Uvalde shootings again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next and the next. Would you expect our government to do something to protect us? Would expect the media to report it?, or to provide useful guidance on how to stay safe?
Well that's exactly what is happening right now, today, 13 Uvalde shootings. That's how many people are dying everyday from COVID-19. Today, tomorrow, and the next day, and the next...
Yet the media is silent. Our government is silent.
Please protect yourself. Wear a properly fitting respirator, like a N-95 mask, or a N-100 elastomeric respirator.
Remember that the more people around you who are not wearing a respirator, the more risk there is to you, so wear your respirator even if you are the only one doing so.

I think you're forgetting that people generally suck. The media doesn't report covid like it used too because people are tired of it, so it doesn't generate as much ad revenue. The amount of people recovering from covid is way higher than the mortality rate. I would think the healthcare industries stock skyrocketing keeps their lobbyists moderating the issue with the government. It also doesn't help when trusted sources of data like "Johns Hopkins University", classify someone whose parachute fails to open while skydiving but found covid positive during autopsy as a "covid death". Even the people that don't suck start getting confused on who to trust.
With all of that going on and as pessimistic as I can be, I hope you have a great week Pat. You seen like a good person, I hope good things come your way.
