You know, I want to be wrong about #COVID. I want to learn that my degree of caution is unnecessary. I would love to stop alienating the people I love because their "careful" and my "careful" aren't the same.

It's just that the stakes are so high. The misinformation is so high. The good information that we do have indicates that to be truly confident, you need layers of protection (eg vax + mask + ventilation + distance + testing). My comfort zone is for a lot of those layers, more than most people feel is necessary.

I'd love to be proven wrong.

@nicedragon @novid The capacity for denial is huge, even in people I thought I knew.

@AnnForJustice True. I think there's also the problem that there's been so much misinformation that even people who aren't in denial, even people who are trying to be safe, are still coming down in different places as to how safe is safe enough. Is it masks? Masks plus rapid tests? Masked and outside? Masked, outside, distance, and PCRed? We haven't had good official guidance on this, so we're all just trying to figure it out on our own.
