After almost two years, it should come as no surprise to anyone that many are at the very least tired, or even much more tired and sick, of this terrible pandemic—and tired of it and its impact on our lives. !? How many more have to get infected, hospitalized, expose others, take risks and/or die?! With that in mind, this article will attempt to explore and check this and why we need to do better.
1) Conspiracy Theories: For some reason, some people prefer to believe unsubstantiated opinions and accept them instead of facts. It began with denial, transformed into accusation, and created a damaging backlash. Is there anyone out there who hasn't or hasn't experienced the loss of a loved one? While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, they are not entitled to their own set of facts. It's one thing when your actions hurt you, but it's quite another when you put others in danger!
2) Politics: Why has it become political, like so much, , common sense? There is a huge difference between a viable solution and a well thought out plan as opposed to blaming and complaining, denial and stubbornness!
3) Data and Science Matter: Mike Bloomberg likes to say, "We trust in God. Everyone else, bring the data.".
4) Mandate Resistance: Although we have seen public health mandates in the past, we seem to be experiencing the most polarized nation in recent memory
