I know a combination of youthful disdain and general sociopathy makes people think, "ah, well, a bunch of old people dying, no big whoop" when
they see this. Well, ok, but not everybody feels that way, and certainly not everybody feels that away about their own parents and grandparents and, while it's mysterious to the NYT-Atlantic-SmartestBoysOnTheInternet Crowd why some people might still be taking mild precautions, not wanting to kill Pops is a
"rational" reason.
