Probably closer to 5-6 (although some folks are clearly higher).

The minority they are arguing with are 3-4. Thoughts?


Definitely not 4. Closer to 2-3, particularly when faced with the actual data and they seem unwilling to even consider a modest cost/benefit analysis (or comparisons with other, easily comparable risks) without resort to saying that those trying to do such analysis/comparisons are putting "money above lives."

These risk averse folks are the epitome of the pearl-clutching, spoiled, emotionally driven folks who dominate the left side of the political spectrum.

Not to mention, social distancing has replaced racism as the hot button virtue sgnalling topic.

I think there are probably a lot that talk like 9 or 10s but are in reality 2 or 3s. Particularly those war hawks on here--none of them would go to the front line voluntarily I suspect.
