How do i deal with people's paranoia about the virus

I know people can get it but people have been getting the flu for millions of yrs and noone ever shut down cause of it. i cant go to the senior center down the street, theyve been closed for months, and i miss eating with friends there,

also, i was supposed to see a friend yesterday but she bailed out on me thanks to corona, so i got stuck spending my birthday by myself, its not like i have family nearby, it was a milestone birthday too which made me feel worse about it, they were also working in the apt next to me and since i didnt want to hear all the banging and so on all day i took off and took the bus to the mall and ate out and went to the movies. it was a good movie too. the movies have been closed for months and right on my birthday they opened it up, wondered if someone upstairs did that cause he knew if i was alone then i end up treating myself to the movies, the timing was weird, so when are people going to stop being so paranoid? im sick of it, i never get sick so im one of the safest people to hang out with, any suggestions?

First of all happy birthday.

Sadly it makes no difference how healthy you are, you risk infection and infecting others. Some of which may not be as healthy as you. And this really isn't about you, it's about all of us.

I'm one of the healthiest people I know and yet I take ridiculous care because I know it's not about me or my health but people like my son who has asthma.

Take care
