Thorough and brilliant post. Makes me wonder how we escape it all or I should say if we escape it. Safetyism, as you point out, is fraught w unintended harms, especially to children. When the possibility has become the probability, as seems to be the case, what IS the off ramp?

"Surface contact was determined to not be a significant route of transmission of SARS-CoV-2..." Recently I went to a supermarket where they had decided to start spritzing their clients with the stupid hand sanitizer upon entry. I said, "Still doing this theatre? No." And I left. I went to a different store of the same chain a few weeks later. Looks like the hand sanitizer harassment is chain-wide. I said, "No," again and left. No doubt the people supporting this figure it's "just" hand sanitizer, but I figure it's important to fight against whatever fronts of this madness I am able to.
