I REALLY cannot hold back my outrage and disappointment at this point. Some (if not many) Malaysians are still behaving so irresponsibly in the midst of this dire Covid-19 pandemic. They underestimate the danger of the virus and the speed at which it can spread, especially the highly transmissible Delta variant. They seem to be ignorant of how widely the variant can and has spread in the community despite the fact that there have been countless news reports as well as information posted, circulated and published on all forms of media, including online, by legitimate and trusted sources. And yet, people remain ignorant. Or maybe they assume they know better?
This is the attitude and mentality that remains prevalent among so many of us: “It only happens to others, it won’t happen to me, my family, my friends, my neighbours or my colleagues – as long as we know each other, we are all safe and not infected with the virus at all.” This is the most selfish and ignorant thinking ever!
