Turning once more to Katelyn Jetelina, a professional epidimiologist, we get her take on relative risk of COVID. Rather than just reporting percentages, she adopts a relative risk measure called the micro-mort (MM) which gives risk in terms of death per million. In this post, she compares relative risks of dying of COVID to driving, flying, and serving in Afghanistan for a year. Breakdowns are also given based on age and vaccination status. The bottom line is that your relative risk can depend on a lot of things, but for many people, it is more significant for COVID than for other lifetime events or activities.
