    Yes people can die in a flight crash, but it’s more likely to die in a car crash so choosing the car over a plane is just dumb when it comes to risk manegement.

    Yes almost all people who didn’t vaccinate against covid are still alive, but the percentage of people who took it is even higher.

    When i jump out of a plane with a parachute i might die, it’s a risk either way so why should i bother to open it?

      I think it’s about having control over the risk too.

      If you take a plane, you are not in control. When driving a car, you are. I think the latter makes a lot of people feel more comfortable.

      Anyway, all these analogies are not really fitting. I think when it comes to covid, it’s each person’s decision what to do. Makes sense to me. :)

        Yeah you’re totally in control when a truck driver falls asleep and crashes frontal into you.

        Just like you’re totally in control when the person next to you in the train doesn’t wear a mask and spreads the virus towards you
