And what can cause that?
Because I can't practice on myself, like how much force does it take to break my bone?
But if I see somebody do something that doesn't look like it's a lot of force and then the bone breaks, I should be a little more careful in those situations, right?
Yes.
Would we put pandemic in this category?
Parts of it can be.
For example, there was a big Ebola scare a few years ago.
It was interesting because Ebola is not that contagious, unlikely to become what COVID was, but man, is it scary.
And it's scary and only in its extreme forms.
You get something that looks like a person who's been attacked by a monster, bleeding out of the eyes.
And these are very rare instances even of Ebola, which is a pretty rare disease, right?
Yeah.
But those are memorable.
And so you really don't want to get it.
Even if Ebola had a lower death rate, it would still be much more frightening because of that.
Because bodily injuries, what they do in most cases is they index violence really well.
So if I'm walking through the woods and I come across the body and the body's got kind of a cut on its neck right here, a small cut, I'm going to be a little worried, but I'm not going to freak out.
Now, if I'm walking in the forest and I see someone missing their head, I'm gonna freak out, right?
Yeah, we got big problems.
But why?
