Most seem to have tricked themselves into believing otherwise, but unfortunately COVID and its risks are far from over.

Stay safe out there.

Sure, and the flu isn't over, either, last time I checked it's still circulating and a large number of people die every year from it.

Eventually you have to go live your life.

More died of COVID in Jan 2024 than total flu deaths of 2023.

COVID also leaves far more people disabled from post acute sequelae.

That's not living your life imo.

Are they really "tricking themselves"? It seems more likely to me that different people simply have different risk tolerances, in both degree and kind.

Seems to be a complex combination of things in my experience probing people on what they do and don't know about risks and precautions. Would be easier if capitalist media didn't lie to people to prop up its archaic consumption based economy.
