For all of human history, there's been a chance that a child will die in a car-accident or be abducted by a child predator on his way to school every day. We haven't said that kids should stop going to school because of this, have we?

There's a non-zero chance people will die traveling to and from work today. We haven't said that people should stop working to save lives, have we?

I think that most people being bad at understanding risk-management is at the core of why there's there's such big divide with how to react to Covid.
