This is exactly what mean when I write about the "risk model" vs the "health budget" model.
In the risk model you think about the risk weighted benefit of doing an activity - the pro vs con, the illness days, the microcovids.
What will I gain? What is the chance the dice roll will come up bad? How great will that brunch with my friends be? What's the chance I will get #covid19 ? How likely is it that I will be disabled by #longcovid & by how much?
In the health budget model, you have taken the hit, you are actively living with the present damage. You have spent your health budget, & are now dealing with the "health debt". It is no longer about benefit vs risk. It is about avoiding further debilitating damage.
It's not about brunch anymore. It's about not losing what ability you have remaining. It's about maximizing the quality of life for the time you have.
Those who have not taken the hit (yet) are in the risk model mindset. Social pressure to ignore the risk & "live their best life" drives the behaviour of ignoring the potential risks & consequences by rejecting every safety mitigation available.
Those of us who have been hit are laser focused on not getting hit again. And having it made worse.
The kicker here is the risk model has an iterated, compounding risk built into it. Thus it is just a matter of compounded risk, i.e. time, before they end up in the health budget model.
