Easy peasy.
Ignorance is bliss and those that practice it will die.

It seems there is no problem with wearing a mask when you know it will save your life. Add our governments lack of response and confusing messages and well, we got chaos.
Our education system and TV/hate radio seems to breed ignorance.
Stay well.

(205,467 posts)This is what we should have been doing here since the beginning! I fault Trump and his lack of leadership. We needed a national mandate from the beginning instead of leaving it up to the states since too many looked to Trump and didn't take it seriously - and some still don't - with dire consequences. What does it take to enact simple precautions that save lives??
Stay safe out there!
