Extrapolating from my parents -both reasonably educated, health-conscious, social democrat voting, well to do people in their early 70s living in a small German town-there is not much hope. They show such an angry resistance to any advice from me to please be careful and take this thing seriously. Instead they keep forwarding me an endless array of braindead conspiratorial WhatsApp memes and videos disqualifying everything as a global hoax that are widely circulating in their golf club based friend group. It’s just fucking scary and recklessly dangerous.
Rant over .
