    This nails how humans think. We value personal experience over data. If neither we nor anyone we know has gotten sick from it, #COVID19 doesn’t seem real to us, but the negative effects from mitigation that we, our family, and our social circle are experiencing are *very* real.https://twitter.com/gregggonsalves/status/1324343309830135812 …

    Many people still don’t know anyone with #COVID19. Thus all these precautions, calls for mask wearing, social distancing, just don’t compute. You say this is dangerous but I don’t see that in my own life, just the disruption, hardship that you’ve brought upon me.

        It is how homeopathy works. We all know that one person who tried something and then got better and very few people who tried it for a serious disease and died.

        Switzerland is next to italy. Bergamo's not that far away. Denial is still high. Instead being thankful for not knowing someone who had it, died from it, this circumstance is used as measurement for the severity... I hadn't thought it possible...

        Replying to @gorskon

        I can't understand how this mentality continues after all the news coverage. How do people still not understand that preventing the situation getting worse is better than waiting for it to get worse & only then doing something about it?

        Right? Mobile morgues in a major metropolitan center near you would give one pause, I would think. It’s so hard not to use “unwell caps” at the moment. And abuse punctuation terribly. 😩 people.

        probably another factor has played part disconnecting economic cost of the pandemic; eg. economic cushioning , prior savings etc.

        I think that’s absolutely a factor. Still, this is different than a tornado: With resources: sucks terribly, disruptive, expensive, losses move past-able. Without protections it can wreck your whole life. Virus: MANY inequalities, but you still can’t just pay live/recover.

        And people suffering the economic effects of closure could not be made to understand that the GOP senate was blocking relief efforts.

        I realize, you know, I work in hospitals and am not average d/t that, but with this community spread, how do they NOT know a person?! I guess it’s rhetorical. I really don’t understand. Even if they never leave xyz heights, they’ve got to...
