Thanks for the excellent, thoughtful piece, MC. It’s sad that many Americans can not sacrifice some of their perceived personal “freedom” to contribute to the common good and help save some lives.

Substack ate my much longer comment but yes! It’s magical thinking. We all want Covid to go away. But it’s not going away. It’s that invisible sniper in the hills. And if you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time chances are you’re gonna get the bullet. For most, it’s a flesh wound. For folks like me and a dear friend of mine, the wound can go deep. But because it’s a numbers game and the foe is invisible, folks go on their merry way. It’s not going to happen to them—until it does.
