I made my choice to reduce my risks to the extent that my economic reality allows; one year of misery that allows me the chance of enjoying fifteen good years sounds like a rational-enough choice. Maybe I will take that trip to New York City someday, which would be much less likely had I caught COVID-19 and died on a respirator. 

Maybe the difference between Red America and Blue America is that Red America lives on its impulses and is unable to defer gratification, and the ability to defer gratification so characteristic of Blue America explains why Blue America has more and better education. Maybe that explains why Blue America has lower rates of crime and drug overdoses. Much of Red America lacks the talent for making statistical inferences and still believes that Donald Trump won in a landslide because everyone that many in Red America believe that nobody else voted for Joe Biden.

One could say that Red America could see the light at the end of the tunnel while the Democrats were imposing a cloud of gloom and doom over Blue America. I know a lot of people who got COVID but I don't no any who were killed by it not even the older people who had it so far as the people who read to many books were downplaying herd immunity. It really doesn't matter which way you go, the country is now more or less dead locked and it won't take much to split the country and its government at this point. War is hell and there are no rules or special protections and no one is off limits or 100% safe during times of war. Welcome to the 4T.
