Trying to avoid infection with a SARS virus estimated to have killed 15—20 million people despite the prodigies of modern medicine, is just the normal and sensible thing to do. Covid isn't benign. It's still killing, including in Europe and the US. The pandemic isn't over
Sure, not everyone will be affected the same way. But this disease, covid, remains a severe threat to human health: it's still a leading cause of mortality and a trigger of prolonged ill health across multiple organs and body systems (#LongCovid). This is scientifically proven.
Vaccination isn't perfect. Many safety measures like mask mandates have been removed. Many people aren't aware of true nature of covid and the way the virus spreads (with particular regard to airborne transmission: through the air a bit like cigarette smoke)
We remain in a pandemic phase of danger. Many people are being infected, including children. We know some are dying. We have the data. We know a relevant percentage will develop prolonged symptoms and long-term ill health, including life-threatening outcomes (#LongCovid)
Being concerned about this dangerous, fast evolving SARS virus is the most normal thing, if you know the situation and understand the science. Being cautious in risky situations is absolutely the right thing to do (e.g. in indoor spaces, especially crowded ones).
We have seen that the global elite attending the WEF at Davos actually think the same: they're adopting for themselves important safety measures, like pre-entry covid tests and air filters. They certainly don't think Covid is a "cold", otherwise they wouldn't take such measures!

The airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (through the air) has been discussed and established for long in the last years. Here some publications in top scientific journals. This is why we need masks and "clean air"

On the Davos meeting and the covid safety measures in place, there is a lot in the press, although not near enough! You can also follow #DavosSafe and #DavosStandard
