Hi Todd, usually I just say “amen” but this time I have to say I haven’t really noticed a lack of empathy in the general experience in public. Certainly is isolated cases, I have where some are still very militant towards those who have not been COVID vaxxed but in general, things feel “back to normal”. I am terrified this is going to change when we get into the flu season!

My impression - and of course I could be wrong - is that the sheeps' loss of empathy has to do with fear. Although it is irrational, they have been convinced that they have to fear everyone around them, especially the "vaccine free", the unmasked... (the shrews). They have been convinced that other people (especially those mentioned above) are capable of "giving them covid" and the result, of course, will be that they will die. This had never happened with any other disease that we have lived with in the past (as far as I can remember).
