But people understand that if you do get Covid you are not going to die and really have a good chance to not even know you got it.
Rightly or wrongly it comes down to deaths. And good or bad, we have seen cases almost triple but deaths are not up by much.

And here's the ****ing problem.
People are ****ing selfish and only care about themselves.
YOU probably won't die. What about the people you pass it on to unknowingly? Or the people THEY pass it on to unknowingly? And the people THEY pass it on to unknowlingly?
And that's just deaths. Let's talk about the long term effects. Wife spoke to a doc at Lake Ozark Regional Hospital today. Lots of stories to tell, but the one that stood out to me was the 18 year old female high school athlete who "recovered" but has a chest x-ray unlike doctors have ever seen. They have no idea how it's going to effect her long term.
Shit, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about what's happening inside me at any given moment. I'm several months into "recovery" and there are still days I feel like ass out of nowhere.
TL;DR: People need to start giving a shit about others.
