Care is not taken

What is "taken" in care is not taken?

But it doesn't make a lot of sense to say to take care when people is not still have the disease, no?

What happened to my grandfather is not the first of its kind, quite a number of people have been victimized by this kind of disease, and many more will follow if care is not taken

"Care" is what is not taken (there is a failure to be careful). So, nothing is done, but something should have been done. And, yes, it makes sense to suggest that people without the disease should be careful.

  • "Care" is what is not taken (there is a failure to be careful).
  • So, nothing is done, but something should have been done.
  • And, yes, it makes sense to suggest that people without the disease should be careful.
  • That is because they can get the disease, but taking care will prevent them from getting the disease.
  • Don't take care = get the disease (in the future) Take care = don't get the disease.
