We camped more this year than ever before.
If a person is so afraid of dying, they stop living. They are already dead.
Truth is. It is more dangerous driving to the Cg than there is a chance of getting sick because of it. And you all drive to the CG. Or to the store, or where ever, and all of that has more risk than covid
you're incorrect but the numbers are not high on either.
based on total infections to date and the current population of the US your chances of being infected with CV19 are 2.35%. chances of dying in an auto accident is 0.94% (1 in 106). the source for the auto accident deaths did not mention specific mileage so i'm guessing it takes into accounts all driving.
as for deaths from Covid...persons 40-49-yoa account for only 3.5% of covid deaths. collectively, persons less than 50 account for only 5.7% of deaths. persons 85 and older account for 30.4% of CV19 deaths. i'm 70...my age group accounts for ~22-23% of deaths. but the aggragate survival rate for covid is 97.55%.
