Well it comes down to everyone in this country buying into the seriousness of this pandemic. People aren't actively participating in the necessary steps to cut this virus way back. Those who are required to travel abroad are paying the price for it.
I am disappointed in our response to this issue. But I am not suprised. I'll give you all an example.
NOAA ~ "There is a possible Cat 5 hurricane that will likely make landfall two from now. We recommend that everyone evacuate inland to avoid death."
State Governor ~ "We are heeding the NOAA's warning and pulling all our rescue personnel to safety. I am issuing a mandatory evacuation order. THERE WILL BE NO ONE TO RESCUE YOU IF THINGS GO BADLY."
Some Citizens ~ "This is just another scare tactic. They said this last time and it wasn't even that bad. I think I'll just honker down and wait it out. I got a couple days of food and water. Should be enough "
Same Citizens after hurricane comes through while sitting on roof of flooded home~ "I didn't think it would be this bad. They should have warned us. Why is it taking so long for rescuers to come save us? Where are the people to help us?"
This is America.
The best part is you also get to pay to rebuild their house through subsidized flood insurance...for the 4th time.
