I’m referring to the mental toll the protocol takes. I am sure for some people it’s a win.
It seems like overkill, a massive over reaction, to me. It’s just a feeling, and I look forward to the mental health studies that will eventually come.
+1 I understand. I have friends and family members who refuse the vaccinations, and I believe that is their right. The idea of mandates in a free society bugs me, I don’t like it. I am grateful to get experimental vaccines that I think help more than hurt.
My wife and I have tried to make life as normal and enjoyable during Covid-19. One thing that helps hugely is seeing friends and family often, but outside. Breakfast and coffee in a yard, or everyone take a picnic lunch to a park. Every moment we live is a gift, and everyone needs to figure out for themselves how to live a free and inspired life.
GP is making the rhetorical point that people take safety precautions against risk every day, such as wearing a seatbelt to protect against the risk of a crash, but don’t call it “living in fear.” However, taking the precaution of a Covid test to protect against the risk of serious illness is called “living in fear.”
GP is therefore implying that GGP is making an insincere appeal to emotion rather than engaging with the discussion at hand.
The huge upside is getting to hang out with people who otherwise you only know via Zoom.
