[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens with every virus. Why is everyone so confused about risk perception? I don’t get this. How do you all ever go about living? Literally, every flu season, there is a risk this additional reaction will occur. This is tiring. [/quote] This is a brand new threat. Other risks are familiar. Our brains look at those two situations differently. People under-react to familar threars and over-react to novel threats. With novel threats we can't make ourselves feel better by drawing on past experience. ("Well I have (or my kid has) caught the flu several times before, and I (she) recovered just fine".) https://www.apa.org/monitor/2015/03/fear[/quote]
