The combination of selfishness and denial of reality being exhibited by -a lot- of people around the coronavirus has been truly mind-boggling. It really makes me believe that this Trump era has less to do with Trump and more to do with who we've become. I hope we learn.https://twitter.com/KimZetter/status/1238536417623429120 …

I know everyone is worried right now, but putting people at risk is not the same as murdering people, and by acting like it's the same all you will get is a lot of people refusing to get tested by fear of being treated like murderers.
Possibly...but I'd wager not wanting to know and the temporary relief of denying reality and living in fantasy is going to be the bigger factor there as to whether or not somebody decides to not take a test.

There's been enough documented epidemics in world history that we don't have to guess what drives people away from being diagnosed. Seeing how the diagnosed ones are treated is one of those factors.

To be clear...what I have in mind about the denial of reality and selfishness I'm referencing goes beyond cases like this. Like today in my neighborhood there's people organizing a block party for the virus. They're not diagnosed. I'm seeing a lot of stuff like that.
