That’s what it is for almost all children

Yes, but HN isn’t made up of children. The vast majority of people here are adults, a population in which Covid-19 is a risk for a large proportion. People aren’t talking about children and saying “you’re afraid of the sniffles* (* is only sniffles for children)” is disingenuous.

HN is comprised of tech workers, who dramatically skew younger and vaccinated. These are people for whom covid is very much just the sniffles.
