Are They Not Thinking or Do They Not Care?

I thoroughly enjoy a discussion such as this. The ill-informed virsus the informed, hilarious. Each sides' players are readily apparent so, no programs will be offered as they are unnecessary.

Play on!

Who’s who?

Easy to tell: the informed are the ones with the tinfoil headgear, the ill-informed are the ones with the blindfold.

The latter are now ill more often too.

I propose only you, the individual, can determine that to your satisfaction. It really depends on if you are seriously informed, understand how to critically assess what you hear or read. Or, you are in the other camp simply buying into what makes you happy or, happily out of sorts. Some people thoroughly enjoy being thoroughly unhappy/dissatisfied with their lives and surroundings. I'm betting we all know at least one such.

I never realized there were so many sheeple on this forum. Don't any of you find it odd that vaxed athletes are dropping dead. Hell you saw it on Monday Night Football if sports is your thing. And yes he was dead for a while. Death rates are skyrocketing all over the western world. Of course you won't see that on the propaganda channels. God help you that believe those test kits work. Did any of you ever wonder why Africa and India didn't have the death rates the western world did?

If anyone remembered or researched Fauci from years ago, the fear mongering would never have taken root.

I'm just being a PITA. I think you might have been around for my acquisition of that superpower.

The wife was returning from Wisconsin during which she sat next to a woman who was coughing and hacking all sorts of respiratory effluvia the entire flight from Milwaukee to Charlotte. Predictably my wife tested positive for COVID a day after her return and although we observed the appropriate protocols now I have COVID, I'm immuno-compromised so this is not a situation to take lightly. We're both up to date with our vaccinations so hopefully our cases will be mild. We'll probably never know how many other folks on that plane were infected. I am continually disappointed by the selfish acts of others.

The answer to the OP is that the lady on the plane probably cares alittle but not enough for her to change her flight plans.
Imagine that first she bought her plane ticket, feeling fine. Then she started feeling sick within a few days of the flight. She was going somewhere important for her, like to a relative's house or else back home, or she had an appointment. And she didn't want to make a change of plans that would make her stay in Millwaukee instead of missing her flight.

I think alot of the fear has died down over COVID, but if that had happened in late 2020 they would probably not be very happy with her on the flight.
