No! It just happens to be one opinion.
Some of us stay home because for us...... it makes sense in the current environment.
Has nothing to do with being afraid!

You make an excellent point.
It seems to me, that some people are primarily motivated by a fear of appearing weak.
It's almost like being on the 7th grade school yard, where the bully "dares" someone, so that the bully can try to repress their own personal fears and insecurities.
All too many people however, aren't strong enough internally to stand up to those bullies though and will take on that dare, even if they know it will most likely harm themselves.
That's not being brave, it's actually being just the opposite.
