Greetings from WNY...

Thx for sharing the article. Here in New York, you are in one of two
camps; those who are still taking the virus seriously, and those who are
not... Thrown their hands in the air as stated in the article.

The result for this part of the country? Our county is in a state of
emergency, there are no ICU beds available anywhere in the county, and the
national gaurd has been deployed to fill gaps in hospital staff.

I admit that the covid-fatigue is here and very real but why people have
decided to play stupid all of a sudden is beyond me. I'm in the high-risk
group so the alternative to NOT taking the virus serious simply isn't an
option.

There are still people who have the nerve to tell me that the virus is a
hoax or no more than a common cold. How do you respond to this in a
meaningful way that will make the slightest difference? I've lost 5 people
in my spere to this virus. Needlessly, I'm certain there will be more :(

Stay safe out there... there's danger afoot!
