I think that's definitely true for a lot of people. But there also seems to be a more active sort of intense denialism, fueled by a need to score political points at all costs, that leads even people who _have_ been directly impacted by COVID to continue insisting it's not a big deal. It's why Herman Cain's staff kept tweeting even after he died from COVID. And why people in the White House have been making a big show of hosting superspreader events, even as so many of them have to rely on the best medicine other people's money can buy to recover. Ultimately, I don't think there's a way to understand it rationally, because as you say, it's not rational; it's an emotional response. |
