Case in point:  Your determination to save his soul (L. psyche < Gk. ψυχή), and your simpering faux-sympathetic moralizing about the devil in him.  The Christian version of that lecture is that you will pray for him and his condition.  Surely, this will impress him with your virtue make him laugh and blow you off with another crude comment—but at least it makes you feel good, which is the important part.
I guess you don't get it.. but, in this situation, I am not inclined to enlighten you to your stupidity.

I am determined that if, despite my severe individual precautions, I myself were to contract COVID-19
Roll Eyes  For you, they are of course just "severe individual precautions"... everyone else is apparently just lacking courage and fearful. Not you, though.. Mr. courageous, laughing in the face of death with your "severe individual precautions" -- right back at ya', COWARD! Roll Eyes

You constantly talk yourself in circles, which is why I don't read 90% of what you post anymore.

In the old days, B.V., self-isolation, avoidance of socialization, and anything that could be called “social distancing” from fear of germs was considered an indicator of need for psychotherapy.
Whereas I have no patience for cowardice, a quality which by its nature is revealed by adversity, risk, and death.  Safety and prosperity do not reveal character.  This does.  Character is also not revealed by idle big talk from a position of comfortable theories.  Cold reality now says:  “Put up or shut up.”
despite my severe individual precautions
Practice what you preach.

I just didn't see anything funny with this particular joke/game, so it came off as mocking, which doesn't feel right to me given the circumstances.
Thanks for pointing out that I was stating my opinion. Maybe you should analyze your post now, so you can see how much of your opinion is in it, and then I assume you will highlight them all in red and play this lame game with yourself?

Point of the plot: If you do not like it, then ignore it. Do not in any way attack or demoralize those that do.
Interesting comment, considering how many situations you have jumped in on to attack and demoralize based on you not liking something...
If this is what you want to live by, you too should practice what you preach.
