That may be, but that's the beauty of natural selection. If they can't do what they need to do to protect themselves, then their lineage will fail. Though it may inconvenience you, if you're smart enough to, you have the ability to move away from large groups of people (and take advantage of alternatives like grocery delivery, etc).
