For the time being, follow the recommended precautions, but ask yourself, ?When will this end, and who will get to decide that??This is a reasonable approach and a reasonable question to ask.
It's something to keep in mind, but in the meantime, as a healthy and productive member of society, I have to make 100 decisions a day weighing risk against the harm done by not participating in the economy and in other activities that are important for society. I agree that the media is a problem and we shouldn't react with fear, but it's also not helpful to say that we
are ?in slavery through their fear of death.?
Will we ever be allowed to sing, shout or cheer in public again?
Will those who go about living life normally always be shamed and called selfish and irresponsible?
This alarmism is no better than the media, and I believe it has the effect of motivating people to act in ways that prolong this pandemic and risk health.
