What ScientificAmerican labels as "denial" might better be referred to as a "normal risk-management assessment". They're still hyping up the threat of Covid in the article for God's sake.

    And the article states why we should still be paying attention to Covid.

    To wit, I personally know three people diagnosed with Covid in the past month - all right here in the United States. Every single one of them were fully vaccinated. Two are fine - suffering the "normal" Covid issues. One is in the hospital, and while they've made progress in getting the disease from getting worse, they're not out of the woods yet.

    Also, so-called "Long Covid" is turning out to be worse than we'd thought.
