Oh, by all means, I was imprecise there. But...in retrospect, everyone is uneducated about many things, and someone who is an MBA or MD might well be very good and educated at that, but not so much at...transmission vectors, R-Naught and such.
Edmund Burke had a great quote that I have heard Thomas Sowell use more than once: “I revere men in the functions that belong to them, but not beyond.”

What it all boils down to is even performing a cursory risk assessment. Heck, if I have a 30 mile commute to work, I could look at actuarial tables and figure out some kind of probability of getting killed in an accident while commuting, because I know...we all know (or should) that any time you start your engine, your chances of shuffling off this mortal coil increase by some amount.
I have studied and worked with radiation, so I am familiar with doing a risk analysis because that is done all the time with radiation to stay safe.
A minority of people, especially not those in government, seem capable of doing even a rudimentary one on Coronavirus, even though they likely do an unconscious one when they decide how to drive to work on a snowy morning.
Corona transmits in grocery stores, restaurants, bars and enclosed workspaces.
Or anyplace else where people share the air.
