@meltedcheese Indeed, people are definitely bad at risk assessment, especially when the risk is "invisible."
But I also see how difficult it is for people to properly assess their risk -- even if they wanted to -- when the media and governments have downplayed or ignored the dangers of covid after a period of time.
I seek out this information, and I know more or less where to get it -- but I'm not most people. In surveying friends, especially those who get their information in languages with many fewer speakers than English has, much of what I take to be common knowledge would be news to them because it isn't being broadcast in mainstream information outlets.
