This is neat! However I’m concerned it will embolden some people to carry more risk. I say that because I input the riskiest thing I’ve been doing regularly (hanging out at an outdoor park with a few friends with masks off, 6+ feet away) and the calculator told me it was less risky than I expected so I thought, “cool, I can do riskier things.” And then I slapped myself. But lots of people won’t slap themself, they’ll just do it.

- SamPatt 6y agoWhy did learning new information which updated your (previously inaccurate) level of risk cause you to slap yourself?
- anoncake 6y agoI hope it will embolden people to carry more risk. As you experienced yourself, it's very easy to overestimate the danger.
