Too much “you’re a science denier, anti science, anti vax, anti authority, anti this, anti that...” going around. A lot of interesting stuff to be learned and discussed civilly in the middle ground.
too bad the vast majority of the country is not young and/or healthy
we’re not alone in this. Every other country practically has taken extreme precautions. It’s not for nothing.
as far as true deniers, there’s plenty. Some of them are in positions of power and say it’s a hoax publicly. That’s going to make it very difficult to have an open economy while taking sensible precautions
