"Osterholm said resistance to public health restrictions not only stems from the concept of "pandemic fatigue," but also from something he calls "pandemic anger."

"It's people who don't believe that the pandemic is real," he said. "They think it's a hoax."

Raywat Deonandan, a global health epidemiologist and associate professor at the University of Ottawa, said the resistance also stems from "raw selfishness."

"There's an inability to think about community responsibility," he said, explaining that people think they won't personally be seriously affected by the virus because it has a comparatively higher survivability rate in younger age groups.

"But if you scale this up to a population, then that's tens of thousands of deaths – and they don't care."

Don Jr. dismisses coronavirus deaths: ‘The number is almost nothing’

Roughly 1,000 Americans died from Covid-19 on the day the president’s son appeared on Fox News to downplay the U.S. death toll.

Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, falsely claimed on Thursday that the number of Americans dying from the coronavirus amounts to “almost nothing.”
More than 8.9 million people in the United States have been infected with Covid-19, according to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University, resulting in more than 228,000 deaths. The U.S. tallied a single-day record of more than 83,000 coronavirus cases last Friday and reported a new daily peak of more than 88,000 cases on Thursday. Deaths, an indicator that typically lags behind the number of cases, have also been on the rise.
Deaths have indeed declined relative to last spring, in part because doctors have learned to manage the disease better and because of drugs that have proven to be helpful in combating it. Nursing homes, where thousands of Americans have died from the coronavirus, have also done a better job of slowing infection, although they face challenges protecting their highly vulnerable residents as Covid-19 continues to spread across the country.






But the deaths are not “almost nothing” — and they are rising. Roughly 1,000 Americans died from the disease on Thursday, as Trump Jr. appeared on Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s show to downplay the U.S. death toll. And among those who survive the coronavirus, many have long-term damage to vital organs and lingering chronic symptoms.
“The reality is this: If you look, I put it up on my Instagram a couple days ago, because I went through the CDC data, because I kept hearing about new infections,” Trump Jr. said. “But I was like, ‘Well, why aren’t they talking about deaths?’ Oh, oh, because the number is almost nothing. Because we’ve gotten control of this, and we understand how it works.”
Those remarks resemble other misleading or outright untrue rhetoric put forth in recent days by President Donald Trump, who has been increasingly dismissive of the pandemic’s threat ahead of Election Day. “More Testing equals more Cases. We have best testing. Deaths WAY DOWN,” he tweeted on Friday morning.
Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. is “rounding the turn” in its fight against Covid-19 — an assertion contradicted by his own White House task coronavirus task force.
According to notes of a private task force call with governors on Friday, task force coordinator Deborah Birx acknowledged the severity of the spread, particularly in the northern U.S. She said 1,200 counties — one-third of the country — qualify as “hot spots.” In only one state are cases falling, and in only seven are hospitalizations decreasing.
She told the governors that reaching a plateau — stabilizing the virus, not even bringing it down — will take “every single person in your states moving forward with” wearing masks, maintaining social distance, avoiding gatherings, and handwashing.
The administration’s coronavirus testing czar also expressed concern this week about the trajectory of the pandemic, pointing to the growing number of deaths to correct the president. “The cases are actually going up. And we know that, too, because hospitalizations are going up,” Adm. Brett Giroir told NBC’s “Today” show on Wednesday, adding: “We do know that deaths are increasing, unfortunately.”
Public health experts predict an even greater death toll throughout the fall and winter months, as the U.S. coronavirus outbreak collides with the annual flu season. “If things do not change, if they continue on the course we’re on, there’s going to be a whole lot of pain in this country with regard to additional cases and hospitalizations and deaths,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, told CNBC on Wednesday.

"Fauci says the US “could not possibly be positioned more poorly” to stem rising cases as more people gather indoors during the colder fall (autumn) and winter months. He says the US will need to make an “abrupt change” in public health precautions.The death toll from COVID-19 passed 230,000 last week, as daily new infections hit record highs – more than 98,000 cases were reported on Friday. Hospitalisations are also rising across much of the country.

Trump has downplayed the data and even alleged – without any evidence – that many doctors are inflating virus death tolls for profit.


“I mean, our doctors are very smart people,” Trump said at a rally on Friday in Michigan. “So what they do is they say, ‘I’m sorry but everybody dies of COVID.'”
He suggested, again without evidence, that doctors can bill more in that case.

Speaking of the risks, Fauci says he believes Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden “is taking it seriously from a public health perspective,” while Trump is “looking at it from a different perspective”.

"Winter will help COVID-19 spread more easily, experts say — here's what they suggest you do about it

https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5788154

“ When a virus is exhaled, it begins to break down right away. But the colder it gets, the slower that process is, says a Toronto epidemiologist — and that may help the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 spread. ”
