[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello everyone.

I just want everyone to know that I read an article today informing me that there was a shark attack somewhere this weekend.

As a result, myself and my entire family will no longer be taking part in any more waterborne activities for the foreseeable future.

In addition, someone was struck by lightning the day before last. So we will not be venturing outside either.  [/quote]

This is OP I know you are mocking me but I do live my life with much much care. I hate oceans because of all the critters and weird rashes you get after not to mention water safety. I also take precautions during lighting storms, that includes not venturing outside. And to an earlier poster, brain eating amoeba has a 100% fatality rate so I do avoid lakes as in we’ve never been to one and I don’t allow splash pads (one or two exceptions in places where I personally know the water is correctly treated).

So for something like covid that I literally have no control over and that could cause major damage (albeit small small risk of it) I don’t know how to deal. I don’t know if it’s enough to maybe keep the 4.5 year old home with a nanny and he’d be fine. Anyway, I appreciate the responses (especially some of the more helpful ones from folks that have reason to be more cautious).[/quote]

OP - ignore this mean person. I also took a lot of precaution until my baby could be vaccinated against Covid. It is hard to stay the course when others have seemed to stop caring or make a different risk assessment. I get it and don’t judge you one bit. [/quote]

NP but did you read OP’s full post?  PP was reacting to the extreme risk aversion OP described.  It’s really damaging to not do anything because of fear of every.  I’m surprised OP ever traveled because airplanes crash, cars crash, boats sink, trains crash.  Not swimming in a lake ever because of brain eating amoeba?  No ocean swimming because of creatures and sharks?  This is someone who needs professional help.[/quote]
