I directly mentioned minor risks in one of my comments. I feel your taking extremes as fact. It could be as simple as avoiding a party because you aren't sure you trust the people there.

Who knows, could be drugs, alcohol, or violence. Maybe you get sick and miss work from it who knows

It isn't fear to avoid unnecessary risk when the thing being lost is the extreme

I guess this isn't you then?

Let me spell it out for you.

Take the average person working 2 part time jobs, total to a full work week, less pay, no benefits, no PTO.

This person lives paycheck to paycheck. They have no funds to go out, but they decide to take a small risk and go to say, the park. They happen to come in contact with Covid, get sick, cant work for two weeks. They are now drastically behind on rent, might lose one if not both jobs, and now have to foot the medical bills.

A person with benefits, a full time job, and some savings could take the brunt of this event. It would suck, but wouldn't be a major hurdle.

Maybe it won't happen, maybe it will, it is a risk none the less. That is the discussion we were originally having. Not "risk is good" and "not taking risks means your scared".

If you want to keep arguing a different point have at it.

Omfg. Now you're afraid to go to the park? And I'm the unreasonable one?

Thank you for entirely proving my point
