If you are, then you should…
Hmmm… how can I put this…
Oh, I know…
Stop being a pussy.
One more time for the cheap seats… if you are under 65 and healthy then your chances of dying from COVID are about the same as your chances of dying from a lightning strike. So if you’re in Texas, go out and live your life. And if you just can’t let go of the fear, then feel free to continue to wear a mask and keep away from other people. It’s really that simple. You can continue to effectively protect yourself in public without demanding that other people do what YOU think they should do. Be an adult and take personal responsibility for your own saftey, It’s just crazy enough to work!
Or, and this may be an even crazier idea… you can continue to stay in your house and hide in your toilet paper fort while the rest of us press on with the business of maintaining modern society.
Let me put this as bluntly as I can. The rest of us have catered to your irrational fear for a full year now, the least you can do, as we careen towards herd immunity, is come a little ways in our direction for this final month or so. One month versus twelve seems like a fair trade.
So suck it up… or don’t… I don’t really care. The country is re-opening, with or without you. And it’s about time.
