Violence in society and the workplace has become so common that it becomes a blur for many, creating a term that I call “threat fatigue.” Meaning, the bad news happens so frequently, most people tune it out, in essence discounting the concern or threat. For others, it becomes a quiet festering issue that is always on their minds, but rarely talked about. As cops, agents and corporate security professionals know, worst case scenarios do happen — like pandemics — but no one wants to believe the threat is real until they occur.
