With a survival rate of near 100% for those less than 70 years old?


I saw one statistic that said that the rate was 95% for those of us in our 70s. That said, would you buy a ticket on a plane that had ‘only’ a 5% crash rate?

Nowhere close to 5%:

The Current Best Estimate Infection Fatality Ratio (by Age) according to the CDC is

0-19 years: 0.00003
20-49 years: 0.0002
50-69 years: 0.005
70+ years: 0.054

No..but that's a bogus argument with a bogus %

and with that said.....would you drive a car if the likelihood of you dying in a car crash was 19 times more likely then in an airplane?
