Never confuse afraid with caution it’s stupid to do so and often a last act.
As I said, I understand the numbers, have doctoral level training in statistics, have been involved in biomedical modeling. Coronavirus is serious, but not dauntingly so. Compared to the 1957 -1958 H2N2 influenza pandemic - over 1 million dead globally, 116,000 dead in the US (against a population of about half of today’s US population) coronavirus is truly a minor pandemic. I lived through that pandemic. Although, I was a child, my parents did not retreat into a social distancing “safe space” and neither did others. The difference was the lack of 24 hour nonstop fear porn propaganda and braver Americans in those days.
I understand that some people are more risk averse than others and am happy to let you make your own decisions. However, when the frightened can provoke enslavement of those who are not frightened, then it has gone too far.
If you are implying that I am stupid, on what basis do you make that assertion?
