Something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, then, huh.

Which the officials created, not the intelligent individuals who don’t think it wise to follow advice that is likely not accurate and for unknown reasons.

I think I first had that day while going through the D.A.R.E. program.

Are you finding a better source of info?

Are you doing the opposite of what they advise, or merely disregarding?

I’ve mostly decided to take normal precautions and not to live in fear. I’ve also decided to wait for more information before getting vaccinated. I work from home and have little risk of contracting the disease. I’m taking a break on social gatherings and travel for a few years and then I’ll see what I do.

I ignore and believe what makes sense based on the literature and a dose of common sense. Wear a mask, avoid large indoor gatherings, socially distance and ventilate are just obvious things to do for a respiratory virus and if the government and all health authorities say otherwise I don't care.
