I'm in the same category as you describe. Not worried yet, but definitely starting to pay attention. Just seems eerily familiar from Trump's first term, and I feel the same angst building in my gut because he's in charge. I lost 13 people within my circle of friends and acquaintances to COVID, and I don't relish going through that again.

Awareness is a good thing.
