Covid-19 : wanna be responsible ?

Should we wait for whatever knowledge comes next regarding Covid. should we follow the rules or go against them ?

What do we feel about being obliged to ware a mask and follow sets of rules that we don't feel are right. 

Many claims that those rules are doing nothing .. and Covid will do whatever it does regardless of masks or social distancing etc... 

So life must go on, the same way it was before we knew about Covid. Enough is enough.. The rules are idiotic. 

We had masks for long time and nothing changed.. let's try otherwise .. Demonstrations and discussions are all over the place .. We aren't feeling good about the new rules.. We'd rather get infected and recover or die than spend the rest of our lives in fear. let's build immunity against Covid as soon as possible. 
We don't want to wait for vaccine .. or worse : we don't want to be vaccinated. 

Wars kill people .. cars kill people .. We don't have options against wars and cars .. why should we have them against pandemic. 

Feelings are very justified .. aren't they ? 

Now let's think .. Thinking is not feeling .. it is about knowing .. what you know can change your feelings.. it will get your feelings adjusted to "better" feelings.

For the last few months . numbers are stable.. we have an average of 250.000 new people infected, and 5000 dead every day. 

2% of the number of infected die.. a bit shy of 1 million as of today.

Among any 1000 people on earth there are only 3-4 people infected as of today. is that much?
Among any 7000 people only 1 died...... still not much. isn't it ? 

Assuming that we are down with masks and other rules and willing to build immune system for earth.

Assuming that people voted (by the above feelings) to let all rules down. 

What do we get .. 

7 Billion infected .. the majority will recover and only 2% will die. it will take few month then earth will recover from corona forever.. nice .. isn't it ? life will be back to business as usual.

Think of numbers .. how many people are in this 2%.. 140 Million death in 6 months.

Arguably the second world war of 7 years killed 80 Million (3% of the world population at the time) .. 
A decision made by hundreds of leaders and action of millions of soldiers who followed orders caused 80 Million lives during 7 years.. more or less.

Think of yourself .. that complex system of Biology. All the importance that you give to your own person. ... you life .. emotions. ideas .. feelings ..  and all other psychological topics. children, family. pizza and beer, vacation and holidays. nature and love.....  that much goes away when you die.... 

Multiply all that by 140.000.000, Easy ..right ??  all of that goes in 6 months.

And let me know if you want to be responsible (or just be a part) about taking ANY decision regarding the new rules. 

How about going to super market with a mask and wait for a vaccine .. Isn't that an easier decision.. ??  

It is easy to demonstrate and ask rulers to take decisions the way you want them.. After that it is all THEIR responsibilities, it is THEIR decision .. you just had the wrong opinion and feelings .. THEY are wrong and responsible for much more..
