In my state in the US our governor held off doing anything about it until our positivity rate became 3rd worst in the world (not country, the world!!). Only then did they acknowledge the issue. Problem is they've still responded piss poorly and numbers are still skyrocketing. Doesn't help that 90% of the state is rural and most folk think it's some kind of "liberal propaganda." Ya, tell that to my buddy who almost died from it. He lost 30 lbs in a week, was bed ridden for a month, and even after he has gone nearly two months without symptoms and tested negative, he still wheezes when he breathes and has cognitive function issues. He can't remember how to do most moderate or complex tasks. He hasn't been able to go back to work because he doesn't remember how to do his job. He is messed up. But ya, liberal propaganda...

Apparently there are some people who are on the verge of dying in the hospital with the disease and still don't believe it's real.
