Carlos , I guess you might call it "skeerrrddd"..Whatever words makes you feel complacent . Ben Franklin, when referring to fire prevention in Philadelphia, coined the phrase that 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." I think it's up to us as citizens of the planet to find ways to protect ourselves from threats from all types of sources, and why that upsets some people I'll never understand. It's a simple question of being proactive in method and deed to enrich the lives and safety of those around us..and that circle can be as wide or as small as you wish. I'll stop here, you're an intelligent person and get my point.
I don't disagree with this in principle, but truly, what should we be doing as citizens of the United States in response to the terrible situation in India? Every adult who wants a vaccination in our country has the right to it. And the numbers continue to decline. That being the case, shall we continue to wear masks and socially distance for weeks and months when everyone who wants a vaccine has received one (free of charge)?
We are lucky to live in a country where we have access to such health care. The India numbers will go down once the vaccine becomes more available there as well. But I am not sure continuing a months long campaign of masking and distancing serves any good purpose in the U.S., other than it satisfies the virtue signalers.
