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.

Thats not what i took from the article tho.
If information makes ppl scared thats one thing but if the object of the tactic is to promote fear its a very different thing all together no?
But yeah a bit of fear is warrented in situations like this but its not like that would not have come regardless. I had lots of fear in the early day up to the point where i had covid, i think thats when i became bit less fearful and more realistic. Fear makes me stupid tbh but we are all different

Should a fit healthy 20 something suffer 2 years of fear because of a virus that is mega bias to the elderly and those with comorbidities? The average age of those who die from covid is over 80.

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.
