So what I’m saying is: stop worrying so much. Release your death grip on that panic attack you’ve been having for six months. Hug a friend. Go for coffee. It’s time to balance your personal wellbeing vs the collective good.

PSA: covid cases are rising in Europe and UK atm (expected as lockdown eased) but death toll is NOT rising. Getting and even passing on Covid is NOT killing grandmas (however much they might personally want that). This is the perfect time for under 50s to get infected.

I've been a long term activist. Working collectively for a greater good for a long time. Burnout is a thing. I've seen people burn each other out trying to keep on top of that moral high ground, and they end up more broken, for longer, than a lingering viral load.

Reducing cases has to be balanced with quality of life, and I think far fewer people are saying that publicly.

Apparently yes (cases began rising 6-10 weeks ago, deaths still flat)

Not sure that that’s the right conclusion to draw — there have been substantial improvements in our ability to treat it, so the death rate has gone down over time. Doesn’t mean that the marginal <50 infection won’t cause more deaths at the margin.

That's probably due to a combination of, in decreasing order of importance: 1°) much more testing than during the first wave (so more reported cases but probably fewer actual cases) 2°) it's under 50's who are getting infected 3°) better preparation, less hospital overflow

Nope. We still don't know about long lasting side effects or whether this is a new strain being introduced with different consequences. This thing is killing people and I for one don't want to potentially be a typhoid Mary for anyone

Under 50. Got infected in March. Still can't walk across a room without getting winded. Downplaying the impact of this on young people is irresponsible.

Same for some of my friends. It's a calculated risk. Trying to encourage calculation in the equation, rather than moralising.https://twitter.com/ssica3003/status/1304495058138411013?s=20 …
