What I find fascinating in the Covid era is how some people who have developed serious health issues became wearier of risky behavior and more thoughtful about their choices, but many others have instead doubled down on risky behavior because “life is short.” There’s zero introspection that their own behavior might be making it much shorter. Almost as if that’s an impossibility. They’ll say becoming sick made them value their life more, but their actions contradict that purported belief.
