Well, you also have to consider that almost anyone you actually talk to, the people they know who have had COVID that aren't old or already ill, had a normal flu reaction and recovered from it just fine. Seems the surface amount of able-bodied, relatively healthy people that the average person knows has survived the disease. I think the human experience is seeming to be incongruent with the "OMG YOU'LL DIE" statistics and I can understand why a freedom loving individual would want to take the risk.
These aren't my exact opinions btw. I am pretty indifferent to this whole topic. Don't give a fuck about catching it or spreading it. Not angry at people who are scared of the disease though.
