Well, yes …

… but there seem to be a lot of hysterics around these days: America Needs To Stop Reacting To Coronavirus Like Hysterics.

Americans put a man on the freaking moon, landed a robot on a postage size stamp of land on Mars, harnessed the power of the atom, defeated Germany in a world war — twice, invented the automobile, and defeated gravity and invented human flight. Yet right now many of us are sitting alone in our homes behind cloth masks with dubious protective qualities thinking about banning children from attending school even though they are at extremely low risk of infection or as vectors of transmission.

Who knows how so many people turned into scaredy cats. I'm pushing 80. So I know I’m nearing my sell-by date. Ain’t gonna worry about it.
