You: "Mass death is good! Don't fear the reaper! You must be a coward if you don't want to die from a disease."

I knew a lot of people like you when I was young. Many of them have already died from their bad choices regarding risk, whether those choices were motorcycling without a helmet, illegal drugs, or simply diet.

I myself make rational choices based on my evaluation of risk, and then don't worry about them. I never live in fear, but I take rational precautions to avoid dying, which is why my wife and I spent a couple of years almost entirely isolated, and still do our socializing outside.

"Might as well be dead."

Insulting and wishing death on people who are better at risk evaluation than you isn't a good look, really. Consider politeness next time.
