Here is WA state our governor (Jay Inslee) just gave a state wide presentation for folks to NOT gather for Thanksgiving. WA, just like the rest of the nation, is experiencing an increase, although WA is a LOT less of an increase than our ID and MT neighbors. They are shipping their sick to WA hospitals. Yet, they just continue to ignore the obvious precautions. The behavioral psychologist are having a field day with studying ignorance and the pandemic response. As someone great once said "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity". I agree with other NW folks on this forum ... send them all the masks they need. I think this statement from a behavior scientist summarizes things nicely: "Dunning–Kruger effect, in which poor performers in many social and intellectual domains seem largely unaware of just how deficient their expertise is. Their deficits leave them with a double burden—not only does their incomplete and misguided knowledge lead them to make mistakes but those exact same deficits also prevent them from recognizing when they are making mistakes and other people choosing more wisely." Sounds to me like a lot of ID policy makers.
