> I know a lot of you are married so let me put this out here: I (and most young people) will not put their romantic life on pause cause of a virus.

I'm Gen X, I came of age the last time there was a virus going around that had potentially lethal repercussions if you got it.

We didn't stop dating. We took reasonable precautions. To be blunt, you didn't raw-dog someone you just met.

Only fools expect you to abstain for years. Only fools look at a person and think "well they _look_ healthy, I'm probably OK."

Exactly, thank you for this. I should have been more clear. I view this as risk vs reward. I minimize unnecessary interactions so I can for example, go on a date and not be worried.
