I was quite amused early on when people were talking about how brave truck drivers were for risking a COVID-19 infection. The per-year-worked fatal injury rate for truck drivers(1) is 0.024%. Meanwhile, a COVID-19 infection for the 20-49 age group has just a 0.02% fatality rate. Logging is even worse, at 0.14%/year-worked. More than just risk adverse, I think a lot of people don't understand how risky life in general is. edit: ...and I'll point out, those truck drivers may still have been brave! If you mistakenly think the risk is higher than it actually is, you're still brave for taking it on. 1) https://www.trucks.com/2017/12/26/trucking-deadliest-jobs/ https://www.trucks.com/2017/12/26/trucking-deadliest-jobs/
