許多人不再害怕新冠疫情？

根據一次最新的民調顯示 ，美國人幾乎百分之九十四都聽过奧密克戎新病毒 ，儘管對此大流行目前還未得到有效遏制之方法， 但是只有百分之二十三的人表示，他們可能會取消度假計劃， 百分之二十八的人會停止或取消和家人朋友的集會。

回想過去二年當新冠病毒大流行开始時， 我們還沒有發現疫苗 ，許多人開始囤積食物和衛生紙 擦拭買來的東西 ，自己進入封鎖狀態 ，有如大敵臨頭 末日將至。

然而隨著疫苗之發現 ，人類似乎有救星來了 ，許多人已經不再害怕新冠， 雖然緊急救難車笛不断， 許多人都有些麻痹而放下了警惕 ，放鬆限制和戴口罩習慣， 甚至不願接種可能挽救生命的疫苗。

過去二年疫情期間， 許多人生活在空虛和絕望之中 ，加上媒體大量傳播病毒信息，可說是無處不在， 這也許是要大家趕快去打疫苗的原動力。

今天在美國和歐洲各国已經完全放棄了隔離政策， 和台灣中國大陸正在進行的管控方式真是天壤之別。

我們正在反思， 在民主社會中要對抗大流行 ，真是聽天由命了。

 Are Many People No Longer Afraid Of Covid-19?

According to a new poll, almost 94% of American people have heard about the Omicron

virus. Only 23% of the people polled said they are considering cancelingl their vacations and 28% will cancel or postpone their parties with their friends or families .

Looking back two years ago when the pandemic began, we had not found the vaccines. Many people started to store up their food supply and toilet paper. However, with the discovery of vaccines we are getting relief from the vaccine. Now many people will not really worry too much like before. They know the vaccine can save their lives.

Today countries like the United States and European nations have a very different policy compared with China and Taiwan. Our businesses are open and people still conduct their business as usual.

In a democratic society, do people have the right to do things in a right or wrong way?
