The chance of being struck by lightning in your lifetime is 1 in 3000 = 0.03%

The chance of an under 25 dying of Covd - it’s different for under 10s, 11 to 19 and 20 to 29s, let’s take a 25 year old. The change of dying of Covid if you contract it is 0.2%

Still higher than being struck by lightning in your lifetime...

Methinks the chance of contracting covid if you are ‘younger’ is greatly reduced.

So 2 stats needed. Infectivity to yutes. Mortality in yutes.

I hate to quibble Mr. Cronos, but we must compare apples to apples. You must compare your 0.2% chance of dying of Covid “if you contract it” to the chance of dying from lightning “if struck by lightning” .... which is somewhere between 10% to 30% of the time. The lethality of lightning is much greater than the lethality of COVID19. Now the chances of dying of each is an overall calculation I don’t have time to research and make.

Best regards,

Mr. Bondservant

That’s like shark bite though. You never get bit if you don’t go in the water. If you like to hike in the mountains your odds of getting struck go up summat considerable.
