    As someone unfortunately in the US, we have a different approach to viral pandemics. Many of us submit to viral supremacy and fall in line (deny proven methods of pathogen spread / buy killer trucks and oppose efforts for mass transit and safer transportation options). Then we rush to accept the virus as “endemic” (if not simply “God’s will”).
