One of the disappointing results of lack of leadership on COVID has been fracturing of risk assessment to extremes. We don't need to be in locked cocoons with wax seal, but we also need to make fundamental adjustments to behavior so that's not needed. These aren't in conflict.

I’ve noticed this too and been raging about it on here, of course. I saw someone earlier (whom I’ve already picked on enough, so no link) who was like, “What is there to do other than have my kids stare at screens all day?”
GO. THE FUCK. OUTSIDE. The risks there are very, very minimal. FUCK. Most people have the risk assessment capabilities of a dimwitted diphtheria bacterium. Just be less of a dumbass. I know it’s hard. Just please try.
