So you're not only dodging the question (it's a simple yes or no: Would you play?)

Its a dumb comparison. I expect better from you tbh. You could tell me I have 1000 chances to roll a 6 on a 6 sided die or I die and I wouldn't play despite having pretty much 100% chance. It's an unnecessary risk. Living your life is necessary though and I probably stand the chance to die in a car crash or a random act of violence almost as much as I do from covid statistically, if not more. Life goes on. People have to work to live. Locking yourself away and feeding off unemployment is a privilege and that wont last forever. If we kill businesses in the process, we may have more people die in the process of trying to save lives.

There's a relevant C.S. Lewis quote:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
