Why aren’t we scared “To Death” by a pandemic?

Be honest, “If a person has a coughing fit (without a mask on) while shopping in Wal-Mart, would you run over and comfort them?” Be honest.

If there was a water main break and the local government said “boil your water” would you?
If a chemical company exploded in town and the government said “stay inside” would you?
If a wildfire was coming your way and the government said “evacuate” would you?
If a pandemic killed 418,000 and the president said “it’s like the flu” would you worry?

Where did we go so wrong? Is it because we can’t see it? Is it because it sometimes kills and maims using secondary illnesses caused by its harmful effects? Sometimes people have no symptoms? Some people really do have flu-like symptoms?

Is it because we just don’t want to believe there is an invisible killer among us? Is it that we don’t want to believe anyone we come in contact with, could be contagious? Even our family and friends.

Let's get through this together, wear a mask, wash your hands and socially distance. Allow those that want a vaccine to be able to get it. Nobody likes it, just do it. The life that is saved could be someone you care deeply about.
