The divide in this country is just getting larger and lager. You have those who just no longer care about COVID, and those (like the kid in the article) who treat COVID as the most important control in their life.
Are COVID deaths higher in the places that ignore? Not that I could see.
There's going to be such a divide as these kids grow up.
Personally? It's time to move on. Get vaccinated (no boosters), and then ignore COVID. Every time you get exposed is like another booster to the immune system. By getting vaccinated first you cut disk of death to almost nothing.
It's time for the world to move on.

- nemo44x 5y agoI agree it’s the only way at this point. Get some protection and get on with it.

- jakeinspace 5y agoIf you control for population density and age then yes, death rates are higher in places with lower vaccination rates (which I presume qualifies as a form of not caring).
- ceras 5y agoNo longer caring about Covid isn't the same as being against vaccines. Many people no longer care about it because vaccines are widely available to anyone who wants the - except for young kids, who are much lower risk from Covid anyway. I would even bet most anti-mandate folks in the US are in fact vaccinated, because the vast majority of US adults are vaccinated, including in states like Florida that are particularly anti-mandate. Stats on how much mandates help given a vaccination rate would be very interesting.
- ars 5y agoAs ceras said (and I thought I made explicit), I'm not talking about those not vaccinated, but rather those who did get vaccinated. Get vaccinated and move on - the data shows that you are safe after being vaccinated. Masks and lockdowns are no longer accomplishing anything.
