I don’t think prepping has anything to do with poor risk assessment. These people are projecting their overwhelming free floating anxiety into a more tangible fear that they can then make a hobby out of attempting to manage and control

So this week I chose option 4! First it was funny in context with the other options. oSecond while I am not actually afraid of this scenario I dream about it a lot. That Im in some strange city where I don’t know anyone and discover I’m without my wallet keys and phone. I’m nobody! In the dream I’m not scared it’s more like, huh! Now I can be anybody. Where shall I start?

My spouse works in risk management, yet early in the pandemic I kept having to remind him it's never about what the risk actually is, it's about how people *feel* about the risk.

I like your son's take -- that's a great perspective!
