This blog, and Sean Doolittle's above quote, are completely on the money. Heck, it applies to my thinking; before the NBA shut down in March, I equated COVID-19 on the same scale as swine flu, ebola, etc. Dangerous diseases that had run rampant in years past, and we had people get sick and die, but it wouldn't be on the scale of the 1919 flu epidemic or anything.
Then the games got canceled (and Tom Hanks got sick the same day) and my dumb brain started to think "Oh hey, maybe this is actually something I should be concerned about!" Now I do all the things you're supposed to (minimize going out, WASH YOUR HANDS, wear a mask, social distancing), but it's scary how many people don't and how many more are preaching that you shouldn't.
