Doing so at this point would be like no longer driving for fear of car crash. There's always a risk of catching something when you interact with people, before and after the pooh virus, nothing new here. |
Car crashes kill about a 5th of the people per day as the "pooh virus". Also car crashes aren't contagious. Just like the pool drowning comparison there just isn't a good comparison to be made between accidental deaths and a contagious disease.
Also most of the people in the "we need to take this more seriously camp" are just trying to get people to wear masks which is akin to seatbelts in your example. But large swathes of our population can't even be bothered to do that.
