BIL is Brother In Law. I don't/didn't want special bs for him, I never liked the guy. My point was just it's easy to be cavalier about it when it doesn't effect you but that doesn't mean we should all go into bunker mode.

Very rarely are things black and white.

I'm still confused.

Paraphrasing: "It's easy to joke when it's not you, but don't get hysterical."

The problematic part is "but".

A number of things seem varying degrees of true to me at any one time. I guess I have a hard time explaining it. Like if covid was s sliding scale from no worries to we're fucked I think we're near no worries but not completely.

My parents are both old. We're close too. So I worry for them.

It's not the fall that kills him, it's the landing.

It's not the COVID that kills society, it's the hysteria and reactions.
