RD, your post makes no sense to me. Are you suggesting that all of those infected at the top levels of gov and military were somehow more engaged in the world than others, who just may have been more careful. That by needlessly exposing themselves to covid that they are somehow more engaged with life? I think they are examples of folks making poor choices. Though I wish them speedy recoveries. Do you feel not wearing a mask (or using other common sense protective measures) somehow makes one more engaged?
