There was a clever illustration I saw online somewhere. Left panel, a person saying "you can't fix stupid," and the right panel a drawing of the coronavirus (with a face) say "I can."
With the caveat that I have expressed before that each of us has to make our own risk assessments, I think we have done quite a bit to neutralize if not fix stupid. We have prevented unvaxxed stupids from attending shows (as well as a ton of other things to the extent that they are feeling very unwelcome in our precincts), we have vaxxed ourselves and will continue to boost our vax up, and we are wearing masks. Is that a guarantee of anything? No. Is it enough for everyone? No, with special consideration for those who come in contact with little ones. But overall, we are not being stupid to do things as we are presently and what we are doing in these precincts appears to be working pretty well. The scarier question for me is if we are reopening stupid in an economic sense and sadly I think we are. |
