However, I have noticed many persons behaving passively, and have heard many unwise statement that have been spoken by some, that don't seem to care, and are still denying the proven factual data available to us.
I am remind of a young man that was once alive in the USA. He had thought that it was much fun to prove to his friends and others his skilled in playing russian roulette with a spin barrel six shooter revolver hand gun.
He had had many times put a live bullet in the gun, then spinned the gun barrel, then pointed the gun at his foot, and pull the trigger. The gun klicked each time, but the bullet remind in the gun.
His socalled friends and others present then was amazed, and some even boosted of this young, but very ignorant, and arrogant behavior.
After he, in his mind, had proven to others, so far, his lucky skill, the devil placed a thought in his mind, that if he point the sin barrel 6 shooter hand to his brain the resulr would be not different. He had agreed to that thought, and had pointed the spin barrel to his brain to further amused his friends and other onlookers.
He then squeesed the gun's trigger,. Suddenly, a banged sound were heard, and the cocky-minded youth dropped to the pavement blood platted, and died.
He had stated out and played russian roulette, but he had changed the game to DEATH ROULETTE.
Many among us are playing DEATH ROULETTE with the covid-19 virus.
Are you SURE, SURE, SURE that even though it may miss you this spike that your body is immuned from becoming a casualty the next coming spike?
If you and I must risk our lives, we should risk them in an attempt of saving lives, only. That is what a wise person would do. Would you do the same? You should.
Both countries aproximately about one mile separate bout countries.
What does this data tells you about the different mindsets of many of the people the live in both contries? Who would you agree are wiser in there fight against the covid-19 virus?
What leasons should be learnt from this disparity in the number of fatalities per capita?
Good choices is the foundation of good result. Bad choices is the forerunner of bad result.
Proven knowledge, and faultless wisdom save people's lives. Agree?
I suspect the government are well aware of this but we cannot continue to lock the place down because some people are stupid.
