“Oh, you’re concerned and worried, well I’m more concerned and worried than you are because I’m a better person! “
And there it is. A great part of this national freakout are Nanny-Staters wanting to tell us how to live our lives and how they care about us more than we do.

Hey Grampa Dave, your screen name suggests that you’ll appreciate this little anecdote:
I follow a local online forum that is, as far as I can tell, mostly people in their twenties and younger, at least in terms of the most active posters, and a lot of them have been complaining heavily how their Boomer parents and grandparents simply refuse to self-isolate, how they’re going golfing and having wine parties and such.
It’s as if they can’t comprehend not freaking out when told to freak out. And when they ask those same parents and grandparents why they aren’t freaking out, the most common answer seems to be “Eh, we’ve been through worse.”
