What's the paranoia?

It is almost pointless to discuss anything with some people because they have obviously closed their minds. Some people have concerns. You call it paranoia.

Here are a few of my concerns:

Even crowded outdoor areas such as hiking trails and overlooks can be risky.

At home I have all my food delivered. When traveling I would need to stop at grocery stores.

Gate attendants protect themselves with gloves which does nothing for the people who need to hand over passes and money. Who knows how many driver's licenses, passes and money those gloves handle an hour.

If I get Covid and become seriously sick or at the point of death I would rather be at home. Remote areas often have very limited medical help and expertise. Let us not even consider what happens if you die thousands of miles from home.

People living in many remote areas have been very slow to adopt any precautions. Now many of those areas are being hit hard with Covid.

Thats the problem some people think Covid is no biggie and
250 thousand dead americans is just Fake news.

It will take more deaths I suspect before it gets stoped if ever.

Fwiw
China stoped the virus in three months simply by mandating wearing face masks for everyone and now life goes on as normal

But then most people there have enough money saved so taking few months off work is no problem
