I have a friend in Slovenia. Last year, during the first wave, his country had very good virus management and very few infections and deaths.

The pandemic has clearly shown that people are not willing, of their own free will, to do what is sensible and necessary to protect themselves and others. This applies to individuals, businesses, state governors, national leaders, etc. Many people are just not that interested in staying alive over the long term. It might be OK if it were only the reckless people who died. Unfortunately they've taken a lot of innocent people along with them.
