Unknown risks
I don’t watch the news or read any news beyond our local free paper. It’s still unavoidable hearing a wide range of opinions on the Coronavirus.
Many people have pointed out that more people die every year from the flu. That doesn’t tell me the level of risk. More important is how easily it spreads and the rate of deaths. If it spreads quickly, millions might be affected. Even a small percentage of deaths will be an unthinkable tragedy.
It’s too early to say how far it will spread and whether the current effects will be true for a larger group of people. This means it’s also too early to say that it’s not a concern.
Until we know more, we should take sensible precautions. Panic is never a good option and common sense goes a long way. You should be extra cautious if you’re part of a high-risk population or spend time with such people.
What do you do to make sense of unknown risks?
Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.
