WTH is wrong with people???

I think they are just in denial or completely unimformed.

We have a neighbor whose elderly AA dad lives a couple of doors down. His dad has serious underlying health issues & rarely leaves his house, but his son is still going to work & he walks to his dad's daily to spend time with him.

I chatted him up yesterday on his way over & informed him how deadly this disease is, esp for elderly AA males with obesity & other relevant health concerns & that he should have dad come out on porch & chat with dad from a distance because "you never know who has this at work," (feeding him back his own words to me a couple of days ago). I told him how sudden heart attacks are now being reported, too, a factor of considerstion for his dad.

We have some great chats & get along extremely well. I explained I read about this all day every day & I realize he prob doesn't have time...

He was so taken aback by the facts I shared that he was loiking at me as if I were a space alien or something.

People just don't read anymore & media is failing the country yet again!
