I need to leave the house today, or at least, I've decided I need to leave the house. I realize there's risk, and I've decided to accept that risk and manage it with caution.

To be clear, that doesn't mean I think there is no danger in leaving the house or that the threat is a "hoax". It just means that I'm a free person who can understand the threats and mitigate them responsibly in order to achieve the best outcome for my family.
I am fully aware of the scientific data that suggests my actions could be dangerous, and I will take the necessary precautions.
I am, of course, talking about climbing onto my roof and cleaning out the chimney of our wood stove.
