Just tacking on, Covid has changed. It’s, by and large, more infectious and less deadly than it was in 2020 on top of being well studied. Panicking about a potential 10% mortality rate from an unknown rapidly spreading virus was reasonable. Panicking about a known low mortality rate virus is unnecessary.

That said, n95 has been a game changer for me. Between allergies and reducing my time with the flu, Covid, and colds, it’s been amazing. Feel free to prove how incredible your immune system is, insecure folks. I’ll be over here enjoying my clear sinuses.

Taking precautions against a novel deadly virus with unknown transmission vectors is not panic. One can certainly panic while doing so.

Once more was learned, our precaution protocols became more focused.

You made some good points, but just to say death is not the only outcome to worry about. Long covid is devastating lives.
