Let's suppose you're between 20-30 years old, no health issues, and you see your parents/grandparents once a year, or never. You actually think you're a responsible person and if you ever got a temperature or whatever you'd stay home.
I think it would be arguably reasonable for someone like this to socialise right now. The risk is lower than the flu of any complications. The only reason you are being locked down right now is because we have decided governments need to enforce lockdowns on everyone, rather than individuals deciding what's responsible.
I don't think you need to be super crazy, or a covid denier, in the case above, to carry on living your normal life.
- skolsuper 6y agoPresumably in this example all grocery store clerks, bar and restaurant service staff, doctors and nurses etc do not have parents and grandparents? Or do they not count for some reason?
- glangdale 6y agoGiven that, as a sibling commenter noted, you can spread COVID-19 to others you come in contact with (who may not have your exact circumstances), this seems daft. The other element of this that's highly questionable is the claim that "the risk is lower than the flu of any complications". I'm really not sure this is actually true; a significant portion of people seem to be COVID "long-haulers". Even if you're not, maybe some of those other people you're socializing with might turn out to have those risk factors.
