Risk assessment is ultimately the individual’s choice.
You may have had a point in the beginning when so much was unknown about the virus. How it spreads. Who it affects.
But distributions are much clearer now.
If you’re part of the vulnerable cohorts stay home, cleanse everything from the outside. That’s your safe choice.

- throwaway3699 6y agoI go along with the lockdown policy only out of a sense of duty to my community, but ultimately I can protect myself alone. That being said, eventually people are going to decide they want their lives back if this isn't improving.
- teclordphrack2 6y ago"but ultimately I can protect myself alone." You're missing the point at so many levels. One, no you cant protect yourself from covid. Two, its not about protecting yourself, but about protecting everyone. "eventually people are going to decide they want their lives back if this isn't improving." If a certain moronic section of our society doesn't die off from this then you are correct.
- xorencrypted 6y agoYour analysis is not symmetric. If you're making a decision on what level of risk you're ok with, that is (by definition) in relation to other people also making similar calculations
