So, the DEGREE of fear and the OBSERVATION of it are key issues in any situation.

I answered a post about the DEGREE of contagion of the Delta variant. That is like a question about DEGREE of FEAR or rational FEAR that one should have concerning the Delta variant. I knew that Delta was more contagious than the prior variants, but I could NOT quantify that degree or degree of FEAR. I did NOT believe that there is NO fear for Delta (rational fear). So, I used the example of freezer trucks to illustrate a high degree of seriousness or rational fear that should be accorded to something as deadly as the Delta variant. it is up to each individual to handle that seriousness in their own way. Each individual needs to decide how much that freezer truck knowledge stresses them. To solve a problem first you have to ACKNOWLEDGE that a problem exists. Good luck!
Thanks, I wish you well, and, at the expense of possibility being politically incorrect, GOD BLESS.
