Similarly, if someone from NY had covid, recovered, has a wealth of antibodies, and is generally thought not to be contagious, but we don’t know, he could say “fuck it, open whatever you want. I’m the lighthouse”.

I'd never heard it. Looked it up myself. The joke/warning is pretty great.

If that's true, we're going to see an explosion of activity in 30-45 days.
I think I had it (for good reason based on travel and symptoms), so I'm playing the odds (I also go to the store all the time).
Dying also isn't freaking me out much anymore. The highs get less insane as you get old. You start getting satisfied. The luck of being born into this country is like a foie gras and scotch all you can eat bar. Don't get greedy, don't get old and ugly... If you have to leave the party early, understand, you're more fortunate than 99.9% of other people born on the planet. You hit a crazy home run just being born here at the time you were.
And none of it means anything anyway, so for god's sake don't sweat a legacy.
