It is all relative to how you view life, and your perception of the quality of said life, and how much you feel covid poses a risk to you and your family personally.
Having been personally exposed to covid.......and trust me nothing prepares you for the news you have been infected by this killer, I am much more relaxed about it

No, neither will the widow of the man I spoke to earlier today, who was told that he had pancreatic cancer, care if sport is back on TV.
As his treatment was postponed due to covid, to say she was bitter about the the handling of the whole affair was an understatement.
In her view, what could have been time spent in more fulfilling manner with her spouse, was instead in effect, a life prison sentence with no parole ending in an opiate induced haze for her husband of 40 years after nine weeks.

Exactly Fred, we must indeed find the least risky path back to normality, and the biased reporting of the "facts", or at least the facts as portrayed by those who wish to exaggerate the perceived risks, knocked on the head.
Sacrificing all other aspects of life on the alter of covid is a price we should not have to pay, none of us.
It should be remembered despite the headline figures being reported daily along with the pseudo grave handwringing of the perfidious media, this is no way reflects the actual costs of covid suppression, by virtue of every other aspect of healthcare being neglected
Confidence in life participation must be restored.
