My point is not to deny scientific research, even when so often it is disputed or conflicting, but rather to accept that this disease can be fatal, but that really now we understand it more just to accept it as one more dangerous thing out there on the downside of life.

Its simply perspective.   So many seem terrified of this disease and are prepared to sacrifice any principle, any enjoyment in a vain attempt to avoid any chance of catching it.

But we can’t avoid all risk of injury illness or death.   It is part of life.  Accepting risk and facing up to it is a part of being human.

I just find the acceptance without challenge of undue governmental control over our lives very very depressing.

Its my human right to decide what level of risk I am willing to take.  I also have a responsibility not to harm other people.  Where the law is permitted to interject a dividing line is the very essence of politics.

For me, the virus death risk no longer justifies some of the other societal harms being mooted.  I am very nervous of engendering a society which becomes used to showing papers as a condition of assembly.  Its a Rubicon I don’t think the level of risk justifies.
