(128,979 posts)which I haven't seen described or pointed out the way that I'm about to, but - they are literal "procrastinators".
-They are not MAGATs
-They are not anti-vaxxers
-They are not "hesitant due to past government experimentation on POC"
-They are probably not the "I never had a cold in my life and made it this far so I'm not going to catch it" types
I really think it's pure procrastination. I.e., this whole pandemic and remedies for minimizing its impact, never rises to the level of the - "I better get this or else" stage and some of it may be internalized anxiety about it so it's more of a "I got too many other things going on in my life right now and I'm just not going to deal with it, and hope it goes away" thing.
It's sortof like when it rains and you get a leak in the roof and think -"Ugh, I gotta get that fixed meaning I need to find a roofer and get estimates, take off from work to talk to them and show them what the problem is and I don't have the money right now and... And then it's dry for a few weeks and you're fine... But then it rains again and there's the leak again and the anxiety returns and you stick a bucket under it and hope it stops raining and it eventually does and the ceiling dries, so you move on noting that it's been fine for a few more weeks, even after some light rain or drizzle in between that makes the spot just a little damp but not a major dripping mess... And that type of thing just goes on month after month. The "I'll get around to it".
