I'd like to take a minute and add an important factoid that both sides should know.
Humans are REALLY bad at responding to "highly unlikely" risk.
With the corona virus, there is a really small chance (~2% depending on factors) that you die after catching the disease. Some people look at this and say "well, I probably won't even get enough viral load to get sick".
There are sone people say "wait, I might survive, but then spread it to someone else, with X% probability - and EACH OF THEM might die".
Both groups are EQUALLY INCAPABLE of properly assessing the likelihood of living a healthy life or dying (or something in the middle). BOTH GROUPS are responding out of "gut feelings" and emotion and VERY LITTLE LOGIC.
I say this not to condem you - in fact I have been in both parties. I say this so that we can find common ground and MEET TOGETHER and acknowledge that is IS HARD, and we should try to work TOGETHER AND NOT DIVID.
