And what can cause that?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

Because I can't practice on myself, like how much force does it take to break my bone?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

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?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Would we put pandemic in this category?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Parts of it can be.

For example, there was a big Ebola scare a few years ago.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

It was interesting because Ebola is not that contagious, unlikely to become what COVID was, but man, is it scary.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

And it's scary and only in its extreme forms.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

You get something that looks like a person who's been attacked by a monster, bleeding out of the eyes.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

And these are very rare instances even of Ebola, which is a pretty rare disease, right?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

But those are memorable.

And so you really don't want to get it.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

Even if Ebola had a lower death rate, it would still be much more frightening because of that.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Because bodily injuries, what they do in most cases is they index violence really well.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

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.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

Now, if I'm walking in the forest and I see someone missing their head, I'm gonna freak out, right?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Coltan Scrivner (on morbid curiosities)

Yeah, we got big problems.
