Like I said, too many people out there are happy if things are OK right now no matter how bad things could get. I have no doubt many are happy, as they aren’t starving and have some place to sleep.
However others *are *scared of what could happen, as it’s a reasonable possibility- it’s happened before and there’s nothing to stop it from happening again.
But hell, there are dudes living on the slopes of active volcanoes that seem to be able to ignore the rumblings.
