I understand, but that can be applied to just about every action we take in life. So maybe going forward you make the decision to avoid certain areas or circumstances or activities because your judgement suggests it's not a good idea.

Also, fwiw, everyone I see in Nola is taking precaution, some of them to an obviously irrational extent.

No doubt at some point we are all having to take actions to protect ourselves and we can't always expect others to care.

But, I do wonder how much culture really plays a role in how cautious people are with this? I know you live Uptown (or The Channel) and so does Nolaswede and, based on what both of you have said, it sounds like people in that area are being very, if not overly cautious, but I'm not seeing the same thing in the Lakeview area and in Jefferson Parish along Vets. People seem much less cautious about this. I'm not sure why that is and it could just be anecdotal, but I find it interesting.
