Sadly, this type of scenario played out all over the country, even into the late '90s before people, IMO, seemed to have a better grasp on the situation. To this day, I am amazed how an entire country "freaked out" over this health crisis but did nothing! Most were, of course, taking their lead from the "Great Communicator", that POS, Ronald Regan.
