Vaccinated Americans now may go without masks in most places, the CDC said
I have a personal theory that humans do not fully understand death rate when it&#x27;s spread out widely across many geographic areas. Let&#x27;s say, for instance, that the covid19 death rate is about 450 people a day. It might be more or less than that right now, I haven&#x27;t specifically checked (but I do recall that it&#x27;s easily been 2000-3000 a day for some periods of time in very recent memory). But that might be 450 people where 1 dies in some town, another 2 die in another city, and so on, totaling 450.<p>Whereas if you were to load a 747-400 with 450 people and fly it into the side of a mountain in one catastrophic absurd event <i>every day of the week</i>, for months, it would be shocking world stopping news. Why? What changed? It&#x27;s the same number of dead people, right?<p>Following this theory to a further extent, I think it helps to explain a lot about the people who believe covid19 is a &quot;hoax&quot; or a &quot;scam&quot;. They don&#x27;t see it, it isn&#x27;t splashy and shocking, it&#x27;s diffuse and spread out in such a way that their instinctual response is to go &quot;just get on with your life...&quot;.
