"real people dying, maybe someone you love, maybe you", actually stop being convincing?
I don't know what you mean by that. "Convincing" in terms of how helpful it is making policy, or "convincing" in terms of you actually don't care?

There is only one side of this debate that is even potentially completely self-interested, and that's the quarantine-indefinitely crowd. At least the open-everything-back-up crowd are de facto throwing themselves into the risk pool.
Education is extremely important.

They're not, though. They comfort themselves with the delusion that they're exempt from dying. I've been assured of this by "friends" and several family members who are in the Open Everything Now camp. Like the guy who died in Ohio, they've assured me that they're going to be fine.

Unlike the guy in Ohio, they have a better chance of being just fine.

That's right. This is a conspiracy.

You tell me. I can't pretend to know why people don't take a pandemic seriously.

Some people don't take anything seriously. Clowns, for example. They're constantly fucking jumping around with the big horns, and the stupid shoes and the painted on smile that disguises how they really look.
And then suddenly, it's 'we all float down here', and you're left wondering what the fucking joke was.

Just an observation...I'll bet you a wooden nickel, that no matter how hard George's hospital tried, over the years they had a few nosocomial infections originating in OR.
Now, this is in a pretty darn clean area, where professional people, trained in infection control procedures, still manage to either make a tiny mistake, or something else breaches a sterile field..
So...cost/benefit. And yes, some of us may not make it. It's all a matter of keeping as many people safe as possible, while still trying to keep a roof over people's heads and food on their tables. And even if we do things as close to perfect as possible, there will still be infected people.

I guess I have spent enough time thinking about it but I really don’t understand why people get all caught up in their knickers about testing and masks. Mostly it looks very odd to me.

Even with the context all but eliminated, that is some of the craziest shit I've ever heard.
