The infuriating thing is that people are already safe, and if they take the appropriate precautions will be as safe as possible, but the media has convinced people that when they go out everyone they see likely has the virus and if they so much as look at them they will catch it, when the exact opposite is true. 80% of the population will never even catch the virus, and that's on the low end.

I've had to travel twice to foreign countries for a combined 6 weeks during the last 6 months, and both of those countries had high covid rates and were on quarantine lists for most other countries. I managed to keep myself safe while there, still went out to bars and restaurants, and so far haven't caught the virus. Meanwhile lots of people I know who are begging for more Government interventions, have barely left their houses have caught it.

These people are not able to think for themselves, they need to be told if they are safe or not. It's so mind boggling.

Just keep a bit of distance between anyone you don't know if you're unsure and constantly sanitize your hands if you touch things. I personally don't wear a mask unless it's absolutely necessary such as going on a plane.
