I don't think the world has decided it's "not worth worrying about", but rather, it's something we simply have no choice but to live (or indeed die) with. There's only so long people can live in lockdown or in a state of high alert, after which human nature dictates that we start to get used to and accept the threat, even if it's significant.

Since the invention of nuclear weapons we've lived every day with a potentially life ending threat, and in countries ravaged by war, where the threat of serious injury or death is especially high, you still see people somehow carrying on with their business as best they can, because frankly it's the only thing they can do.
