    An old friend in Texas just dropped this wisdom on Facebook.

    My response:

    With all due respect, this is a ridiculous graphic. It’s not a matter of being afraid of unafraid nor is it a matter of “freedom.”

    People can be “not afraid” all they want, but each of those activities listed puts people at risk as long as this virus exists, especially if wearing a mask or gloves is slated in the “afraid” category.

    It’s not a matter of afraid / not afraid. It’s a matter of caution and empathy vs. recklessness and selfishness. You can be afraid - it’d be crazy not not be afraid right now - and as a result of that be a cautious and empathetic participant in society, to ensure the health and safety of those around you.

    Stay well.
