I'm pretty much on the same boat as you... I think there are too many people on either side in politics and media that have drummed up people into thinking that we need to shut down forever until there is a cure (what happened to just "flattening the curve"? Goalposts, much), or we need to just open the floodgates (did it just stop being super contagious all of a sudden? Tards). Doing either is both stupid and irresponsible.
Considering that I have asthma I have a vested interest in not catching this thing... and I've been following the numbers and scientific articles (not sensational news) pretty closely- straight from the CDC and others. Basically unless you are both old and have some sort of semi-serious pre-condition you will be fine, if you even get it at all... and if you do the odds are likely you won't ever realize you had it. Mind you, this is with inflated numbers that pretty much everyone has admitted to having.
It doesn't mean there aren't outliers- there always are with anything- but I think pretty much everyone everywhere has handled this horribly. Chickens with their heads cut off and every person in charge of anything at all looking to get overreactive so it looks like they "did something". I myself have kind of favored the idea of this "Swedish model" that people have talked about... except I wanted to see it from the beginning. Problem is that (especially here in the US) you can't necessarily apply that everywhere... particularly the larger areas.
