I understand why my city is lowering its defenses. It's fatigue and it's adaptation to an international economy where everyone else lowered their defenses.

If we didn't gave the last three years of history and the current strains were hitting the city right now, in the current numbers, the city would be closing its schools like it did in 2020 and like it did in 2018 when 100 people died of the seasonal flu.

The only difference between now and 2018 is that now is worse and that ironically is why the regulatory response is weaker.
