It seems to me that the people who think covid is a gigantic world ending plague are the kind of people who really have never had to witness, contend with, or face down death. Yeah, a lot of people have died from covid. A lot more have survived it thus far and way more people have died for a litany of other things every single day. Fuck this virus, take the protections you think are appropriate, and go on with your life they way you want to. If I catch covid and die, well, then that was just my time. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to go licking doorknobs in China, but I certainly will not live in fear.
