The analogy doesn't work. You look and don't see a car. You are told a car might come, that cars have come before; to stay on your side of the road to protect yourself and those around you. There's no car you decide that your 99.9 % chance of a successful crossing is worth the risk. You cross the road and those stranded by fear on the otherside want to punish you. Not fair you crossed the road others may want to too.
Lol. You are being silly. You’re just making up a new analogy, and that’s fine, you can make up a new analogy, but the point I was making is that it makes sense to revise one’s conclusions or understanding of the world based on new information. This is especially helpful in a world that changes often. Public health officials would not be doing their jobs if they stubbornly held to a previous conclusion that new information contradicts. And keep in mind we are dealing with a contagious respiratory virus that frequently mutates.
