Americans are starting to care less-and-less about the pandemic, even as cases begin to rise once again in some parts of the country and officials in the warn that the country could be in for a rough fall and winter months.A Gallup poll published Wednesday found that only 31 percent of Americans report being either 'somewhat worried' or 'very worried' about catching COVID-19, a three percent drop from version of the poll that was conducted in February. Within that group, 17 percent of Americans said they were 'very worried' about Covid still, a five percent drop. The poll signals the shifting state of the virus as America approaches the summer months. In previous years, the warm weather months have come with large, devastating virus surges. In this year, though, a successful COVID-19 vaccine and booster rollout combined with the more mild nature of the variant and its sub-strains has left many feeling more comfortable with the virus.
