2. I'm thinking that many wee towns like mine (2k) are oblivious to the real dangers.

I've watched our Provincial data (Ontario) go from less than 10, to over 2,000 deaths in 2 months.

I've never seen anyone here yet wearing a mask in public, but then again, I ain't been out much - never gone shopping in over 6 weeks, except for on-line and deliveries.

Most of our stores are observing social distancing, with bars and restaurants still closed, and public events curtailed - not too much whining about it, but we are not prepared for what's to come.

Eventually this bug will make it's way here, and when it does - it's gonna hit with a vengeance.

Why can we not get it thru our heads? - We have no cure, we have no vaccine, we have no idea what all this virus can morph in to.

WE DO know it kills us, and we DO know that social distancing, and wearing masks reduces our risks to catch this deadly bug.

WTF is wrong with us?
