Yep. At first it was SHOCKING to see the new cases rise. Then the death tally started rising fast. Then the videos from Italian and US hospitals.

But like most things, once you are accustomed to it, the amount of fear people feel declines. As fear declines, apathy increases.

It's like gang violence, child trafficking, or casualties of war. At first it is shocking, but then people get used to it and go on with their lives.
