That's an annual number while Coronavirus is one and done. A better comparison would be lifetime risk of dying in a car accident.

- mehrdadn 7y agoOkay, feel free to slice and dice it however you want and share the results.
- umanwizard 7y agoThe lifetime risk of dying in a car accident is about 1% in the US, according to https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-mortality-risk https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-mortalit... .
- mehrdadn 7y agoAnd you're equating a lifetime chance with a < 1 year chance because... why? Is having a 1% chance of dying in the next hour the same to you as having a 1% chance of dying in the next 100 years? Is having a 99% chance of dying in the next hour the same to you as having a 99% chance of dying in the next 100 years?
- totony 7y agoI'd assume when you apply that comparison to society at large it becomes close to the same thing.
