I am tracking perceptions of risk and compliant-safe behaviour. Those who think risk is higher are very stressed , which is unpleasant and unhealthy. BUT they are much more likely to engage in safe behaviour . Those who dismiss or discount risk less stressed but less compliant

While no one enjoys stress,which can be unhealthy, it appears to produce safer behaviour. Those who spuriously discount risk are more likely to not following safe practices which is a major public health problem in this crisis
