    Whenever I try to imagine what's going on the mind of a serial killer I always remember this quote I found on Ted Bundy's Wikipedia page in the "pathology" section...

    A significant element of delusion permeated his thinking:

    Bundy was always surprised when anyone noticed that one of his victims was missing, because he imagined America to be a place where everyone is invisible except to themselves. And he was always astounded when people testified that they had seen him in incriminating places, because Bundy did not believe people noticed each other.

    And in this pandemic I realized a huge number of Americans are like that too. They don't want think about the immunocompromised. They pretend that group is invisible and simply doesn't exist. And that goes for any other group they don't want to think about: incarcerated people, etc.
