Another terrific post, Aaron. When I'm faced with similar feelings of wanting to "wait for it to be safe," I keep repeating William Goldman's observation about Hollywood: "Nobody knows anything". Yes, there was more to his statement, but when you boil it down, we're all just trying to figure things out, so why not be the one who does? Besides, literally everyone else is trying not to look like the dumbest one in the room.
PS: Whomever spoke up and pitched the idea of Niles Standish calling a hardware store and asking very specific questions about "caulk" should be in the comedy hall of fame.
