The COVID-19 pandemic has undermined our sense of risk. People are good at weighing risks against rewards, but now, many are confused as to how to proceed. Too many people are experiencing learned helplessness.
But the good news is that the idea of waiting until there is definitive evidence that humanity is completely safe from the coronavirus before returning to normal is becoming untenable. Such evidence may never come. Science is rarely that definitive. With more guidance being handed down from elected officials that seems to make less and less sense, people are choosing to ignore the rules.
A shift in mood is taking place. The fog is being lifted because vaccines are being distributed, and the reason is taking precedent over emotion.
Ignore the CDC, WHO, and Dr. Fauci. The pandemic ends when the public says so.
