    I think a lot of Americans have the option that these contagious diseases aren’t really dangerous anymore and that THEY won’t be affected by any fallout. THEY will be able to survive it so THEY don’t care.

    In reality, lots of people live in small communities and even though they might go on the internet, they don’t go very deep. So unless it’s in their face, they don’t know much about it. And “my gran pappy had the mumps and he was fine!” mentality.
