The virus is changing and the changes are being tracked, and then reported by the media. Ignoring that there are variants doesn't make them go away. This was a deadly virus to start with, and so far it seems that some of the variants are even worse. What good does it do to ignore that?

My concern is with the large portions of unvaccinated Americans. If there was a higher vaccination rate nationally, I would be less concerned.

Ignoring it doesn't do any good indeed, fearmongering and using a pandemic to hustle views, doesn't do any good either. People took the shot, what else do you want them to do? To stop living their lives indefinitely? If the virus mutates to the point people drop dead in the streets, then people will find a way to protect themselves, and get the shot. Some people just don't see themselves in danger(not me, I got mine in April), so is their call to get it or not.

I think that's happening on both sides of the political spectrum. Politicians and political parties will take whatever is going on in the world to push their agenda (and the news outlets follow along).

I don't think people should stop living their lives. I'd just like them to be aware of what's going on and take it seriously. I see some parts of America not wanting to wear a mask or get vaccinated, however, they definitely want their spot in the ICU if they got a serious COVID case. I think that they should consider that some of the newer variants may be more dangerous, and maybe revisiting the idea of getting the shot could be a good idea, that is all.

I see, agree.
