Coronavirus (COVID-19)

[InbetweenDreams]

Sadly, people in our country cling to this libertarian policy "don't regulate the individual" and then don't want to face the consequences or "have our cake and eat it too" in many cases it is a good thing but seems to be applied to wrong things. For instance yes, people have the right to choose not to be vaccinated, wear seatbelts, eat cheeseburgers and so on but then we expect the government or someone else to pick up the slack for bad choices. For instance the Federal Government will (might) pay for COVID treatment including funeral expenses. I don't know that I agree that the government should pay for someone's treatment because they didn't get the vaccine (because they didn't want it). It is sad that so many people can't see the world beyond themselves. Granted, I can be a bit farsighted at times as I am human but it is, well, disgusting that maybe half the population has got the vaccine and nearly all the deaths are those who are unvaccinated and might also be the reason that another variant of COVID might spread, might bring about another variant that the current vaccines don't stop. What are we really dealing with here? Mass stupidity? Laziness? Now, I don't think for a minute that the US is the only country facing this sort of issue either, let's face it any time the US does something [stupid] it makes international news, I just don't buy that everything is sunshine and rainbows everywhere else because it didn't hit CNN.
