Americans must fear the virus and wake up to the fact that it is deadly and it is killing lots of people.

We need to stop saying people don't "get it". They do.

They just don't care.

And consider it fortunate that most people care still, because psychologically speaking, risk-averse behavior predominates in the population even when more favorable outcomes would occur, on average, with more risk taking.
