There's a very large gap between "Don't bother trying to avoid it" and "live in perpetual terror of getting it." It's not a binary thing.
Good thing I didn't say "don't bother at all". I never said don't get vaccination or don't wear a mask if you're in public transport. I even said stay at home when feeling sick to not infect others. I personally don't use public transport much anymore and probably won't carry a mask for the rare occasions, but that's a personal thing. However the automatic bite reflexes, of assuming I propagate a black and white thinking, makes me believe you're American. It's often in online discussions, especially with Americans, that they only see pro or against. It's exhausting.
Also you brushed of the other things I said too. Maybe I should've added a "third" option and it's people who don't bother with covid at all, but I left it out for discussion sake. All I read all day on social media is the still existing constant fear of covid, and yeah, I rightfully so laugh about this. It's like fearing cancer. You take reasonable preparations but you gain nothing by changing your way of living by an invisible virus you could catch any day. How is this so hard to understand?
I am indeed American. However, the reason I assumed you propagate black and white thinking is you constantly refer to the extreme:
You act like anyone who recommends taking precautions is a crazy germaphobe. If you want to sound reasonable, use reasonable language.
