It is important however to note that the medical experts ( the good ones ) raised the right red flags in the early days and were routinely mocked or dismissed by many people. Which in my opinion tends to make people on the fence on safety precautions take extra risks, and gives some deniers a feeling they can act as they want without impunity.
The fact we have several posters on here openly denying the virus as a risk helps denote the lunatic fringe will always exist and the internet gives them a voice. I don't consider you to be a virus denier but do think you are trying to hard to minimize the risk using data that can change rapidly in even a month.
If the "experts" didn't change their mind or make ridiculous forecasts, they would have more credibility. But we heard from them about how the virus wasn't even contagious through the air at one point, or then how masks didn't work. This was one of the forecasts for Florida. It is outdated, but even if we updated it, it wouldn't come close to where we were told we would be. This is why people take a different stance.
