Going cold is an interesting reaction.
I know several people who during the worst days of the pandemic handled their fear of covid, by turning cold.
They all viewed themselves super-healthy and unable to catch covid. In their mind covid was a problem for old and sick and it was totally OK for them to die. They were even viewed as the reason for covid spreading. Any restriction to safeguard people from covid was an insult and something taken away from them and given to other people. This resulted in hostile oppinions that it's actually good that old and sick die.
After those people finally got covid, they were absent for a long time, but all had the same story that "it was just a mild flu"
