Interesting. I think fear is a much bigger variable in uk or at least has been previously in the pandemic than in sweden for instance. I also think this has gotten u to a point that u r so fed upwith lockdowns snd restrictions that u have an easier time making whatever sacrifices that are needed and wanting others to do the same in order to get back to every day life. Its logical and perhaps even succesful if that was the end goal, at least for now.

Surely it is sensible to fear if you think the data support it?
I fear being flattened by the local inattentive drivers, hence I always look even when it's green for me. Low risk / big consequences.
And how do you measure "fear" consistently across countries?
Maybe we should be "scared"? But then the Fear word is often used by the "we don't need any measures or vaccination and you are all scaredy cats" types, so I don't like it myself.
I think in 5 or so years a lot of you will look back on this differently.
