Your missing the point... car accident or COVID-19, the odds of dying from either is low enough not to be a real concern for the vast majority of people. you really THAT worried about a virus that only has a small chance to kill someone?
also, that 1/18 death rate (which is 5.6%) is exaggerated as it's safe to say many more people have caught it that do not register in the statistics which basically makes the real death rate percentage much lower. I don't think anyone can dispute this as the only question is... how many more people have caught it vs what they actually measured so far as it could be a little bit but it could be a lot more. chances are it's quite a bit more than what they officially counted. hence, the real death rate percentage is quite a bit less.
But so far they have been wrong a lot on their data (so it's not like they have reliable data to base their choices on which makes it more opinion than hard facts). in the real world things have been far less than they predicted with death rates. the left often lies and you rarely get the truth from the mainstream media in general.
keep in mind when I said distancing I was specifically referring to a person your living with as it's pointless to distance oneself in a theater if your living with that person (because if either of you had it, the other already has a high enough chance to get it since your living with them). I can understand trying to avoid others and all to some degree though but it's not worth obsessing over it.
also, I get they don't want medical industry to be overwhelmed and all but so far it's not even been close to being overwhelmed nationally. I am confident the virus is not as bad as the mainstream media makes it out to be when is all said and done.
some claim the real death rate could be 0.xx%. if that's even close to being true then the virus is FAR overblown. because the 5.6% does not take into account the many others who likely contracted COVID-19 as when you factor these in, of which there are likely many of them, that 5.6% declines quite a bit. so I think even being generous the death rate is probably no more than 2-4% TOPS.
The odds of dying in a car crash are about 1 in 106. The death rate from coronavirus right now in the US is 1 in 18. So the death rate of the latter is about 6x higher than the odds of dying in a car crash.

Plus, as has been said, it's not just about YOUR health when it comes to CV, but everyone you could potentially spread it to, which means everyone you'd encounter at home and in public, including those theaters. Plus, if everyone takes your advice and risks it, and the cases spike (which they would), that will overwhelm the medical industry who then won't be able to adequately take care of all the patients, raising the probability of dying from it even higher. Of course, you've been brainwashed by the lying idiots in the far-right media who prefer their feelings to the scientific facts, so I don't expect you to know/understand any of this.

The left are the ones who base stuff more on feelings than science etc in general. hell, some seem to think one can choose their own gender even though it's set by nature. it's pure insanity. or those types who let biological males compete in female sports. it just ruins female sports since it's basically a male competing in a female sport and everyone knows males are stronger/faster. but the left prefers their insane politics over common sense.
