If I die of COVID (it is TECHNICALLY possible), don’t let them write ironic headlines as if I wasn’t aware that fleetingly small statistical phenomena do occur. If you hand a skeptic a lotto ticket and it happens to win, it doesn’t mean he was wrong not to waste money on them.
I have made a risk assessment based on common sense. I’m at incredibly low risk and thus am living my life mostly as normal. We should protect the vulnerable while disrupting the rest as little as possible.
People at high risk or with deep concern should wear PPE and social distance if they choose, and the rest of us should get on with it.
We should open everything. All of it. We‘re doing more damage than the virus. We’re committing societal suicidal in the name of ‘saving lives.’

Let people make their own risk assessment. Some people will make the wrong calculations and die. Some people will make perfectly reasonable calculations and die.
That’s called life.
We should be free to live it.

If I happen to draw the statistical short straw - or my wife, or my baby, or my mom... - it will not change reality or be ironic.
It will just mean I‘m a human being subject to the tragedies of life like everyone else.

Also, if masks can’t prevent infection, they can’t prevent transmission. ‘My mask protects you’ is absurd on its face and is a lie meant to control you told by well-intentioned do-gooders who don’t trust people to make rational choices.
Guess what? Some won’t. So what?
