You're very, very, very unlikely to be killed by terrorism in the US. Since 1995, fewer than 3,500 people have died from terrorist attacks. More people than that died from COVID19 yesterday alone.
- refurb 6y agoQuestion. If we had two scenarios: 1. 300 people die each day from a random disease that didn’t exist the day before 2. 300 people die each day from a terrorist incident Are those equivalent problems in your mind? Are the long term consequences of each about the same?
- tsimionescu 6y agoHow is your hypothetical related to the facts before? The poster above was showing that more people die from Covid each day than have died from terrorism in a decade. Also, I would say that the disease would still be a bigger problem than the terrorism even in your scenario. Unknown diseases have unknown effects, and generally scale exponentially. Terrorism is not going to see an exponential explosion.
