“Many of us were too selfish to follow suggestions to change our behavior. “
So you are accusing persons here, and maybe yourself, for spreading Cov-19?? Do you know anyone here, or in your family that is Cov-19 positive???
What is needed to contain any viral outbreak is (1) identify persons infected, (2) quarantine the infected, (3) treat the ill in isolation, (4) don’t panic. Blaming everyone as carriers has nothing to do with science. And what is the death rate???? And who does not shake off a Cov-19 infection? The same people who do not shake off a flu. And how many have already been infected by the flu? MILLIONS. And did they call it a “pandemic”? No. And how many have died from the flu already? 61,200 in 2018-29. And did they call it a pandemic? No.
Yes the corona virus is serious. And yes people should do many personal things to keep their bare hands off surfaces outside their home, never touch a hand to their nose, eyes or mouth, and wash their hands frequently. If there should have been a run on anything it should have been disposable latex gloves, not “sanitizers” and masks. Social contact would not a major problem if all those individual safe practices were followed.
I am not accusing any one of anything, its the 1st 2 sentences in the article which you obviously missed
