Covid has killed 700,000 people and our response has been half-assed and from a lot of people a shrug of the shoulders at exponentially more harm. It’s baffling.
Flying is optional for most people, whereas covid restrictions have touched every aspect of life. George W. Bush said go shopping, don't let the terrorists win by gutting our economy, don't give in to fear. With covid the message was the opposite. People lost businesses, the right to practice their religion, the right to leave their house even to go out in their yard, etc.
