That is part of the frustration.... with the vast majority not greatly effected it is hard to get everyone to agree or get behind a strategy.
I disagree with that. I think that most people realize they are likely to get COVID-19 if there is no vaccine and the pandemic continues long enough. It is a slow-motion epidemic compared to previous ones such as the 1918 influenza, but it will reach most of the population eventually. I think people realize that.
Just like starvation, which literally kills millions more than Covid will each year, does not get a second mention on this site.....
I discuss it often.
Here is the thing many people do not realize about starvation and extreme poverty (defined as less than $1.90 per day per person). These have been greatly reduced since 1960, and especially since 1990.
1981: 44% of the world population lived in extreme poverty
1990: 37%
2020: 10%
The World Bank, the UN, the Gates Foundation and most of all, the poor people themselves have greatly reduced it. In another 10 years it may be eliminated, except in places at war. For the first time in history, everyone will get enough to eat. That is assuming global warming and other environmental catastrophes can be avoided. In other words, not only do we talk about these things, we are fixing them. Just as we are eliminating many terrible diseases with vaccines. See:
