Every time you step out your front door, you risk not coming home at the end of the day. How great that risk is depends on what you're doing, where you're doing it, and who you're doing it with.

Probability of death from Covid is about 1:1,000 (generally speaking, excluding those at high risk). Your probability of death from a pedestrian accident in your lifetime is about 1:600. I assume you aren't about to isolate yourself at home indefinitely for fear of a car accident?
The next question is: are you the only person in the community whose life matters?
