Re: [vpFREE] Anyone taking health precautions when playing?

 

The precautions that one would take to reduce exposure to the flu are pretty much the same ones that would work for Coronavirus. Wow mortality for Coronavirus is probably 20 times higher than that for the flu, chances of getting the flu are probably several hundred times as likely as getting coronavirus. Perhaps even more. Also take note that the Surgeon General has recommended that those without any particular reason, should avoid using masks, so that they are still available for healthcare workers who actually need them.

Let's start with the assumption that everyone in this group is reasonably familiar with probability and risk. Then let's examine all of the risks to our health and safety. Do you believe that COVID-19 is the biggest of those risks? If not, then what have you done to reduce or eliminate the others? If the answer is not much, then you're probably spending too much time and effort taking precautions against something that is very unlikely to kill you and not enough time and effort on the things that are. I don't want to discourage anyone from washing their hands and avoiding touching their face, but it would probably be much healthier to stop smoking, lose weight, get more exercise, drink less, and get more sleep.
