No, that's not an accurate paraphrasing.

I want to be crystal clear about this:

* Sars-cov-2 is a new virus to us and research into is ongoing.

* It demonstratably has short and long term health effects, and some of those lead to death or disability (see TFA). Repeat infections cause further damage.

* It is an easy virus to catch.

With those factors I believe in erring on the side of caution, and am alarmed at the way the a serious public health problem has become politicised and polarised.
