i'm glad i have this chance to get some things off my chest.  i live in the "mohawk valley" in central new york state (200 miles from new york city).  i am really irritated by the attitude many of the people around here have towards the pandemic. many examples. i will start with the fact that only 53% of people in this region are fully vaccinated. that is really sickening to me.

It's understandable to be frustrated with the people in your community's response to the pandemic, especially when they are not taking the necessary steps to protect themselves and each other. Have you tried engaging in discussions to express your views? Maybe inviting others to join in activities like vaccine clinics, educational events, or community meetings on topics related to the pandemic? That may encourage more collaboration on how to move forward. Good luck!
