[QUOTE="DennisW, post: 1987289368, member: 29691"] I’d have not the slightest fear going to a concert, sporting event, etc. right now - if I could! Unless you are over 70, in a nursing home, immuno-compromised, or have other co-morbidities, this thing is no more worth worrying about than flu. Do we shut down the world, kill the arts, sports, restaurants, pubs, and everything else that makes life remotely enjoyable every flu season? 1.2 million people die of flu each year worldwide. Covid is only up to about 300k, barely a blip on statistical world mortality. Hong Kong Flu in 1969 was no less serious than this, yet the world went on (even concert festivals like Woodstock!) Life is not risk-free - deal with it. You want a risk-free life? It would be so boring and antiseptic it wouldn‘t be worth having (Which seems to be where we are headed. I wish I had been born about 50 years earlier so I’d be gone by now! What an absurd and tiresome world we have to look forward to). Wake up and get a grip people! [/QUOTE]
