    <p>While I'm sympathetic with the idea that the relative magnitude
      of this threat *might* be on the same order as "hit by a car", and
      that to the extent that panic behaviour has it's own risks and
      unintended consequences, I think  there is a qualitative issue at
      hand as well.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>It is as if the number of cars on the road just doubled and some
      of the drivers come from the UK right-hand-driving sphere such
      that while the risk of death has only roughly *doubled*, our
      instincts are not tuned to where to look (left/right) when we step
      out into the street.  Our intuitions just aren't well tuned to
      this.</p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Unfortunately, quantitative numbers are exponential not linear,
      so even if you could compare it to "hit by a car",  it doesn't
      calibrate for crazy fluctuations in traffic.   Like being the Frog
      in Frogger right after a level-up.<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>This just out from James Tamplin (founder of Firebase), providing
      a slightly finer grain model to refer to and build from:<a
        href="https://covidactnow.org/"> https://covidactnow.org/ .  </a>It
      is worthwhile to read the assumptions that this model uses.  It is
      all transparent and implemented as spreadsheets that can be
      downloaded and tweaked if you choose.   It is strictly statistical
      and aggregated at the State level, but does not take into account
      variations in population density and personal encounters (this is
      a case where the style of mixing implied by suburban car-culture
      may be a lot safer than urban pedestrian-culture).<br>
    </p>
    <p><br>
    </p>
    <p>Mary and I have had to calibrate our sensitivity to risk several
      times during this episode.</p>
    <ol>
      <li>We were on our way to a long overdue visit to my mother (91)
        in her assisted living where most everyone else there is older
        and more at-risk even than she is.   Her TV has only one channel
        (Fox) and she was reluctant (2 weeks ago) to believe that my
        daughter in Portland with an 18 month old she hasn't met yet,
        really shouldn't risk gathering virus particles through 3
        airports and 2 planes to visit her.    After they waved off, we
        planned to come ahead as a consolation prize, as did my other
        daughter and her 8 year old (we were both driving, avoiding
        high-risk virus-gathering opportunities).   Even though we were
        already on the road when things really started looking bad (over
        a week ago), I was pretty sure we shouldn't even risk *our*
        bringing her anything from here or our travels, but was
        reluctant to tell her that yet.  2 days in my daughter was
        leaving Denver with two kids promised a Spring Break and we
        negotiated a back-country tour of the 4 corners area, meeting up
        with them, and not risk delivering virus particles to their
        great/grandmother and her friends.    </li>
      <li>After listening to towns, counties, parks, states shut their
        doors on our heels as we traveled through, we were feeling a
        little "guilty" by the time we arrived back on our fairly
        isolated home(stead) 20 minutes outside of Santa Fe.   Our
        normal life involves at most 3 trips to *some* town, and even
        then very limited interaction with others usually.  Dropping
        back to 1 very careful grocery run a week is not that big of a
        step for us.</li>
      <li>We now have other semi-rural friends/neighbors trying to
        negotiate visits with us which we are trying to sort through.  
        In our early 60s, we are marginally at higher risk than many,
        but most of those friends/neighbors include at least 1 member in
        their late 70s or even 80s.   Their level of self-concern varies
        wildly from radical germophobe to devil-may-care
        libertarians.    I could mix with any *one* of these sub-cliques
        comfortably if I didn't feel like I was risking
        cross-contamination between them.    The highest-risk-taking
        groups aren't too high-risk for us, nor are the
        lowest-risk-takers too low, but I"m unwilling to accidentally
        bridge the two.</li>
      <li>Our 5 (collectively) adult children have roughly 5 different
        circumstances and sensibilities about this pandemic.  One is a
        virologist who is already engaged in working directly on the
        problem.  Two others are owners of small businesses which are
        direct personal service (crossfit gym and art framing-shop) and
        one is a child social worker who supervises dozens of people
        whose everyday job is to do home visits with families in
        crisis... this quarantine situation puts some of those families
        at yet higher risk in several ways.   The fifth just got the
        diagnosis (this week) that his wife very likely has a cancer
        that will need/deserve surgery AND chemo/rad ASAP.      Juggling
        our advice/support across this diversity is a challenge, though
        a tiny fraction I think of what *many* have to face.</li>
      <li>Mary is intrinsically more concerned about her personal health
        than I tend to be (about my own) which means she is moderately
        more healthy but at the same time more fragile in her
        concerns.   She took two weeks to recover from a COVID_like flu
        with bacterial (sinus) complications just a month ago... had
        that hit a week or two later, we would have had to respond
        *as-if* it were COVID19.   She did give over to a doc visit who
        threw antibiotics at her, and the secondary sinus (with fever)
        cleared up in days.   I have no idea how that would have
        unfolded under the current shadows.</li>
      <li>I just glanced through Barry's post just now and was reminded
        of the issue of Asymptomatic transmission vs what I prefer to
        think of as Presymptomatic.   Presymptomatic includes some
        coughing and sneezing that you don't attribute to an illness
        (yet)...  if you are an annual allergy sufferer, for example, it
        could be easy to assume the increased sneezing is an allergy
        (and it might be!) right up until you get hit with a fever or
        discover someone in your social network is symptomatic/positive.</li>
