I hope I won’t be cooked here too much for my phrase “deem appropriate.” I’m not saying that in the sense that I’ve become indifferent to certain risks and harms (or worse, embraced them in the “sour grapes” way). It’s just to say that certain risks seem very difficult to avoid (e.g., transporting my child) and worrying about them past a certain point would seem detrimental to my mental health and my overall ability to function and flourish in this risky world of ours.
