Even outside this virus, I have let people think I am a coward, even at bars long before this.
I won't lie, I could not have been one of the soldiers who landed on the beaches of Normandy. If I had been alive back then, I would have told the draft board, ""I'd be happy to serve pealing potatos state side, but don't put me in combat, I'd get myself killed quickly, or needlessly get others killed" I am definitely not that kind of brave.
But, I have had a couple of occasions at sports bars, where some drunk fuckface overheard me talking about a game, in which they did not like my opinion, and tried to start a fight with me. Both times I put my hands behind my back and said, " You can beat me up if you want, but if you do, you'll be the one going to jail, not me. I am not going to fight you." Both times the guy said, "Wimp". Fine if they want to think that, but I prevented physical harm to myself. How is that not smart?
