Life has risks - at least if you really want to live, to enjoy life. So it's a balancing act and everybody has to decide for oneself how much risk he is willing to take in exchange for what.

Unfortunately nowadays western governments and an ever swelling number of bureaucrats employed who have to justify their existence and pay are taking away those options more and more, deciding for us how much risk is acceptable (none of course, now not only when we would endanger others, but now also when we endager ourselves) and more and more control everything and everyone up into the last detail - taking away freedom with it.

Unfortunately that will continue and become continously more extreme as it's an built-in trait of bureaucracies to continously expand themselves and their reach and power, see Max Weber, German sociologist.
