WITH the current measures, 4,000 a year die. How stressed do we get about getting in the car? But we should alter our daily interactions for 500?

I just like using the car analogy because it is a risk we knowingly and willingly accept to enjoy life. And it works as a thought exercise. If you are 70 years old and not vaccinated, you chances of dying from Covid are 500%-1000% greater than the chances of dying in a car accident. That is significant.
