One can make their own decision just like deciding to daily risk getting in the car or not get your flu shot.
Both have very major death rates society has decided it can "live" with.
For a moment, exclude the hot spots in the USA as they have a some explanation for reasons why they are hot spots.
The rest of the USA would then display a very different virus profile. Which I believe will play a major role in any future flare ups.
Because of the intense 24/7 reporting by the government and the media in this very instant communicating capable world, our awareness is more heightened and very different than at any other time in history.
In my opinion the fear factor seems more ever present in the virus communications.
Our household (the two of us) will remain cautious until such time there is an all clear or a vaccine. Then, as we do our flu/pneumonia/shingles shots we will be among those that opt for the vaccine. Then hopefully be able to go about our lives with no more concern than we did/do for driving a car or getting or not the flu.
