For example, in the world of investing, there is a concept of risk-minimization whereby you lower your risk of loss or volatility by spreading your eggs across several baskets. However, one risk you cannot diversity away is the "systematic risk" or the risk inherent in the system...call it market risk or whatever, the basic reality is some baseline level of risk will ALWAYS exist, and you can't avoid it.
Let's extend this to the pandemic. There is a risk of infection and death from this very nasty thing called COVID19. It's a real thing. This isn't the flu - many people get it without too many problems and for others it's terrible - this isn't a boating accident.
But it's not Ebola.
So after two years of controls like lockdowns, masks, emotional distancing, and criminalizing freedom to "flatten the curve" blah blah blah, then shots developed under Warp Speed and approved under an Emergency Use Authorization, we STILL are seeing deaths.
This bug is now a systematic risk. Trying to eliminate it is like eliminating systematic risk...it's impossible.
Snowflakes like this professor need to accept the systematic risk that this bug will be here forever, deal with it, and move on with life. For leftists like this rube, that means endless boosters and frequent masking and maybe Depends if he sees an unmasked person. For many others, it'll be none of that.
Or, he can move to a Pandemic Utopia like Canada etc. where he will find many happily masked people but a DIFFERENT systematic risk if his type of thinking falls out of favor...
