yup. This goes back to a climate change discussion on this board not long ago. Most people don’t take societal threats seriously until they personally suffer. But that article touched upon another of my barometers in the “orgy of finger pointing” comment. The threat is still not at its zenith and people are still underestimating the threat when they mix their comments regarding the threat with the same petty political barbs that they used prior to the emergence of the threat.
