Because there is a non-insignificant portion of the population that is thriving off corona hysteria.

Also because of how terrible hospitals are in many places. Wait times insane, staff overworked, etc.
I'm vaccinated but quite fearful of anything which puts me in needing medical attention. The unvaccinated are a burden i'm tired of supporting.
And a not insignificant proportion of politicians more than happy to take advantage of the fear and expand their power.

Tale as old as time.
I'd say I'm disappointed and surprised that more people aren't concerned about it but there's a reason it's a historical trope.
> more people aren't concerned about it
I think a lot of people are concerned about it. And I'd further say for a segment of population this also triggers vaccine hesitancy.
Maybe because the vaccines are looking like they aren't going to be be as effective as they were originally made out to be, but I still think we need to return to normal at some point.
They are as effective as we thought they were. Delta is just more virulent than previous strains and we're at barely 50% vaccination rate. We're still waiting on safe doses for children and the millions of stubborn people who think public health is a personal decision.
Post it on twitter/reddit and see what response you get
Well that’s the case expressing any kind of opinion about COVID
Unfortunately
To be fair, expecting reasonable responses from Twitter on any subject is a bit like panning for gold in an open sewer. The platform's whole premise is compressing things to the point it's the place on the internet nuance goes to die.
