@Topgub "bought into the terror" implies it's an over the top reaction, hence the "bought into". If you weren't joking, it was still a snide remark. It's fine, I've faced countless remarks similar from people like you since the start of this pandemic, another one is water off a duck's back at this point.
If you're not vulnerable to Covid, I can completely see how you'd lack understanding of how some people who are vulnerable to the virus can find it terrifying. I am not ashamed to admit that I found the first lockdown worrying knowing that I was now at risk of something I wasn't at risk of before, I found being attached to a ventilator frightening and I especially found it terrifying when my family were Zoom called to say goodbye in case I didn't make it until the next morning. Knowing that a highly contagious virus was spreading which, for people like me, can be and is deadly, is a rational thing to be afraid of.
"I'm not convinced even those who are vulnerable still need to be terrified either"
I'm not convinced you have enough of an understanding of what it's like to have your life at risk from this virus in order to be able to speak on behalf of people like me.
I don't go around bleating about Covid, I don't go around demanding people keep away from me or wear masks, in fact if you saw me in public you wouldn't even know I was vulnerable just from looking at me. But what really fucks me off is when people imply that because they're not concerned about Covid, anyone who is concerned has simply "bought into" the terror, rather than the fact that they may have made a rational decision based on their own circumstances.
