At it's worst.......Covid death rate was 0.3% -- that is 3 out of every 1,000 who contracted covid.
The (annual) flu has a death rate of about 0.1%
So, if you had a 33% chance of contracting covid (by taking virtually NO precautions), you had about a one in 1,000 chance of a fatal situation. Choice: one in 1,000 chance of lethal covid or 100% chance of 'cabin fever'.
Everyone has their own perspective. For me, I am not going to hunker down in my bunker and shiver in fear.
