I do not like the thought of me being a "Domino". I would like to see my 78th birthday.
Is there something wrong with that?
Not at all. You may choose to take all the precautions you deem advisable. On the other hand, some folks don't think they're likely to become a "domino" and they should have the right to choose accordingly as well.
US mortality so far stands at 10.1 per 100,000 people (population), or about 1/100 of one percent. All the other noteworthy countries have a far higher mortality at this point (except, allegedly, China... their numbers are so low as to be not credible). Even if Covid-19 eventually were to kill ten times as many Americans as it has so far, the mortality would still be just 0.1% or 1 person out of 1,000.
As far as our Covid mortality percentage being so much lower than Spain, Italy, UK, etc, some might say it's because of our great health care system or our fast response, but I attribute it to the grace of God and prayer.
