Right up there with "the precautionary principle".
Risk aversion carried to extremes. Beware of Sharknados.

This is a Canadian tradition. Same concept goes for choosing who to vote for.

Uh what?
Not everything is a conspiracy. So when people say to "stay safe over the holidays" or "stay safe when travelling", they're pushing something?
I guess I'll stop saying "have a safe trip" to folks travelling then.

I am reminded of the motivations of another safety committee, in another time and place
The Committee of Public Safety (French: Comité de salut public) was a committee of the National Convention which formed the provisional government and war cabinet during the Reign of Terror, a violent phase of the French Revolution. Supplementing the Committee of General Defence created after the execution of King Louis XVI in January 1793, the Committee of Public Safety was created in April 1793 by the National Convention. It was charged with protecting the new republic against its foreign and domestic enemies, fighting the First Coalition and the Vendée revolt. As a wartime measure, the committee was given broad supervisory and administrative powers over the armed forces, judiciary and legislature, as well as the executive bodies and ministers of the Convention.

Should see the looks I get when I respond - "I'll do my best."

Statistically the only way to truly stay safe is to lock yourself in your own house. Telling someone to ‘stay safe’ is the equivalent of doing your part for X cause that does absolutely nothing in larger terms, but it makes you feel better about yourself. Extra points if you post it to social media to validate yourself.

That is a ridiculous reduction to the absurd...
"Stay safe" is no different than saying "drive safe" when someone heads out on a road trip... It's someone reminding you that a) they care b) they want you to make smart choices to protect yourself.
I get that politics can be all consuming, but this is the silliest thing I have read in a long time.

Okay - I get the sentiment but "Welcome Back" would be like cheering Germany on if it started rearming to Hitler standards. Maybe "Welcome on Board" would be safer.
