The Danger of Assuming That Family Time Is Dispensable - The Atlantic

I keep grounding back to the idea of a risk budget and allocating each weeks budget as appropriate.

Very few people want to get infected or get others sick. When people take risks, it often reflects an unmet need: for a paycheck, for social connection, for accurate information about how to protect themselves. Acknowledging and meeting people’s needs will reduce risk behavior; finger-wagging won’t.

With Christmas in front of us we will all need to manage our budget with a clear focus on what is needed and desired.
