| Torillian said: 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. |
That was just an example, my point is it's hardly the end of mankind so I'm just not gonna treat it differently than all the other things that can kill. I do wear a mask when I go out still (even if only to avoid confrontation) and I've been social distancing long before the pooh virus so you don't gotta worry about me, but I ain't gonna shame people if they decide not take any more precaution than they normally would.
