In Covid lockdown there were clear rules to follow. Now, things have changed and Governments are urging us to exercise personal responsibility. The onus has now shifted to us to assess risk and make sensible decisions, even though we often lack access to the information we need to do so. How do we assess the risk of getting Covid from getting on a plane or a bus, going to the pub or letting our kids go to the movies? And how do we deal with the anxiety that making those decisions that can bring?
