It may just be we’re all desperate for a sliver of hope, but it seems as though ‘people’ — and not just in the U.S. — are reaching the Once bitten, twice shy stage of pandemic awareness. Enough people have watched the curve trend downwards and then rebound, gone back to jobs that have been reshuttered, witnessed relatives and neighbors suffer & die that facile explanations about ‘no worse than the flu, really’ or ‘look at how well the stock market is doing’ just aren’t reassuring any more. Of course there’s a hard core of Corona-Truthers who won’t change their behavior short of being on ICU care, and with this virus it only takes a few covidiots to keep the virus in circulation…

The northeast US watched East Asia fight back its first COVID surge —and didn’t learn.
The south/west US watched the northeast fight back its first COVID surge—and didn’t learn.
Now, Israel is flashing red: NO MASKS IN SCHOOLS + A/C = MASSIVE COMMUNITY SPREAD. Let’s learn.
